Item Details
These repairs are fascinating (at least to us who today can simply buy a replacement for a broken item). But way back when you needed to get as much use as possible for an item, you would go to extreme lengths for a repair. Now these "make-do" items are collected for the ingenuity of the repairs made.
This copper luster pitcher lost its handle, and the owner had the local tinsmith fashion a replacement. The flat handle is attached to the body of the pitcher by two tin bands.
The pitcher itself is cylindrical in form, with relief figures probably representing Scottish characters.
Probably England, or possibly Scotland, ca. 1840.
Size: Approximately 6" high
Condition: Other than the handle replacement, no chips, cracks or repairs.
Note that I try to be conservative about condition descriptions, carefully noting any flaws. Of course, with antique items, there will be some signs of usage, and/or manufacturing defects. But overall, my customers have always been pleasantly surprised upon receiving their items, and of course, returns are no problem if I happen to miss anything.

Shipping, Handling, Insurance Policy
Due to the recent increases in shipping rates and the manner in which they are calculated, I will no longer be able to offer "free domestic shipping". For many items I will offer a flat fee, which will be less than the actual shipping expense. Other items will use a calculated rate. I usually ship US Postal Service Priority Mail, but for certain items (due to weight, size) find other services such as UPS ground or parcel post more cost effective. If you need it in a hurry, I will only ask you to pay the cost increase for a faster or preferred delivery service. Just email me and I will get a shipping quote.For international customers, I will subsidize shipping, but naturally, this will vary by country, etc. Just email me and I will get a shipping quote.
Please contact me for other services or international shipping. All items carefully packed. And I mean really carefully packed!
