AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The object shown in the image is a vintage amphora or pitcher (often identified as a “mezzina”) made of hammered copper with a spout and brass details, traditionally produced in Italy. Based on research, year of production is 1800-1900.
This type of artifact typically features a decorative spout in cast brass (often depicting the head of a mythical animal, a serpent, or a stylized dolphin), a large movable upper handle, and a coordinated lid connected by a chain. It was originally used for transporting and storing water or wine, while today it is highly sought after as an antique piece and rustic home décor.

Nb: I am not sure it has reached 200 years, but the object is certainly old and dated.
