Description

An antique Continental powder flask of traditional form, crafted from copper with brass fittings and decorative repoussé detailing.

The body features an ornate symmetrical design, incorporating scrolling foliate motifs and a central stylised plume, typical of 19th century European decorative metalwork.

The flask retains its original dispensing neck with spring mechanism, constructed in brass, designed for controlled release of gunpowder.

The teardrop-shaped body is both functional and decorative, reflecting the craftsmanship associated with historic shooting accessories.

The warm copper tone, combined with darker patination in the recessed decoration, enhances the depth of the relief work and gives the piece strong visual character.
