Antique 1800s Hand-Hammered Copper Pitcher – 13.25” x 8.5” Farmhouse Water Jug
This authentic 19th-century hand-hammered copper pitcher is a true piece of farmhouse history. Standing 13.25” tall with an 8.5” wide base, it features a beautifully tapered body, sturdy iron handle around the top, and rough, visible seams that reveal its handcrafted origins. Every hammer mark tells the story of the coppersmith who shaped it over a century ago.
The surface has developed a rich, deep patina and hints of verdigris that only time can create. Its slightly irregular texture and hand-riveted construction add to its authenticity and charm. This piece was likely used for carrying water or milk in a rural household, and today it makes a striking decorative accent.
Place it on a farmhouse table filled with dried flowers, use it as a unique sculptural piece on a sideboard, or let it stand on its own as a conversation starter. This is the kind of antique that brings warmth and history to any space.
