*Antique European masterpiece, cast brass with heavy silver plating* *Analysis after plating information:* 1. *Base Material*: *Cast yellow brass* - This explains the 5 kg weight. Heavy brass, wall thickness 8-10 mm. 2. *Plating*: *Heavy electroplated Silver Plate*. The shiny silver color with the yellow spots appearing is the corrosion of the silver layer, revealing the brass underneath. This is very normal for old plated pieces. 3. *Craftsmanship*: Heavy sand casting. The "corroded" engraving is intentional to give an antique style. European workshop work *1970-1990*. It was fashionable at the time. 4. *Usage*: *Ice Bucket* or *Serving Bowl*. Heavy silver plating was used to withstand use and provide luxury at a lower price than pure silver. *Conclusion*: A heavy and luxurious decorative piece. Its value lies in its weight, its strange pumpkin shape, and the thickness of the plating. *Considered an investment antique*, but an excellent piece for gatherings. *Important Tips*: 1. *Do not polish it vigorously*: Harsh polishing will remove the remaining silver layer and expose all the brass. 2. *Do not put lemon/vinegar in it*: Acids corrode the plating. 3. Total weight 4750 grams, close to 5 kilograms. 4. It appears there were seals on the bottom, but they have been erased with the age of the piece. 5. Location: Madinah 6. Asking price: 650
