Croc meets copper.
Can’t take your eyes off the gleaming crocodile pattern all over this pitcher? Us neither. Take a look at the “JS&S” stamp on the bottom, and you’ll discover how it got there: It’s the handiwork of Joseph Sankey & Sons, an English hollowware maker famed for their gorgeous embossed patterns. This one has a handmade copper handle, too—perfect for taking it here, there, and everywhere else you want to show it off.
Vintage copper—is there a dreamier sight? Whether it’s a gleaming tea kettle or a well-worn (but well-loved!) gratin dish, copper lends easy, warm elegance to a home, without all the stuffiness. We’ve brought you an assortment of stunning, one-of-a-kind finds from Coppermill Kitchen to add to your collection (you won't find them anywhere else!), exclusive to the Food52 Shop.
Items may vary slightly from what is pictured.
