Vintage Solid Brass Pedestal Bowl with Hand-Painted Blackbird Design

An extraordinary vintage find, this large solid brass pedestal bowl is a true work of art. The wide, shallow form has a beautifully weighted presence, but it’s the hand-painted enamel design that makes it utterly captivating: a delicate blackbird perched among soft green reeds and seed heads, painted with exquisite texture and detail.

Each brushstroke feels intentional, the muted tones and swirling surface reminiscent of an old fresco or botanical illustration. The brass base has a gentle patina that complements the warmth of the painted scene above, elegant, earthy, and timeless all at once.

This is a statement piece that blurs the line between functional object and artwork. Beautiful styled on a coffee table, dining table, or sideboard, whether holding fruit, pinecones, or simply displayed as it is.
