This is a very large antique or very vintage garden urn or planter made of solid brass. It has four ornate lions head or gargoyle details. It is signed V.M.C. Virgina Metalcrafters Brass. It is quite large and weighs over 12 pounds. It is 38 1/2 inches around, "not including the lion heads" and 16 inches tall. Wonderful condition with minor wear, very nice patina, but the estate told me the upper part was polished by the owner years ago and I can tell .. This would be a grand garden, or in home urn. Buyer pays 25.00 shipping in U.S. Key words Victorian, Edwardian, Garden Hardware, Architectural, Architecture, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A KIND EBAYER THAT THIS MAY BE A LARGE ICE BUCKET.IT LOOKS TOO LARGE TO ME, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE. IF ANYONE HAS ADDITIONAL INFO ON THIS ITEM PLEASE LET ME KNOW...I WAS ALSO TOLD THIS COMES FROM THE ARTS & CRAFTS PERIOD AROUND 1910.....

I have been told today by a kind ebayer that he thinks this may not be by Virginia Metalcrafters because he has not seen this mark before. I am sure the ebay experts will know .........
