A Vintage Copper Three Legged Pot
This vintage copper three legged pot has a rounded body, a flared rim and three feet finished as lion paws. Two lion mask handles, each holding a suspended ring, are set to the sides of the body. The surface shows a pronounced green patina, with the copper colour showing through in places, which gives the piece a strong, characterful appearance.
Condition and Collector Appeal
The pot shows extensive green surface patina, with areas of flaking and lifting across the body and rim. Orange-red copper is exposed in several sections, particularly around the upper body and rim, and the rim has a split or tear at one side. The wear is clearly visible and forms part of the piece’s age-related character. Its sculptural form, lion mask handles and lion paw feet may appeal to collectors of antique copperware, or to buyers seeking a decorative planter or display piece.
