Lot 383: Two Brass Metalware Items comprising a Large Swing-Handle Bucket and a Middle Eastern Decorative Sword Vase

A collection of two metalware items consisting of a large brass utility bucket and a Middle Eastern style decorative miniature sword vase. The bucket features a polished brass body with a folded rim and a wrought iron swing handle secured by heavy-duty rivets. The interior displays heavy dark oxidation consistent with its use as a fireside log or coal bucket. A small paper label is attached to the side with the handwritten reference 12703 P. The decorative vase is of trumpet form, fashioned from yellow metal with ornate filigree work and inset with blue and green glass or semi-precious stones. A gallery rack at the neck contains six miniature scimitar-style swords with detailed hilts, surrounding a larger central finial.

Bucket rim diameter: 30.5 cm
Vase height: 23 cm.
