Villedieu 20th century hammered copper pot vase with handles

This large shiny copper jar vase with double handles is a very beautiful vintage piece of french craftsmanship from villedieu-les poêles (renowned throughout the world for its copper creations, from tableware to church bells).its hammered finish catches and reflects the light, in contrast with the smooth appearance of the neck and the impressive handles on each side. The container is ideal for making beautiful, low, rounded bouquets. Very decorative as a welcome basket warming up an entrance, with its copper pink color, or as a centerpiece in a country spirit. Below, the stamp with the city's coat of arms reads varnished copper, villedieu. In beautiful vintage condition, patina from time with a few scratches and just a little damage under the base (see close-up photo). Dimensions: height with handles 22 cm, width from handle to handle 42 cm, vase diameter 25 cm (external neck 15 - internal 9 cm).
