Exactly what your mantel needs; a tall toleware decorative container that can hold a floral arrangement or is pretty enough just to leave as is! This metal container is black with dark gold accents and stands 11 1/2 inches tall. The widest measure is at the top of the flared rim which is a 7 1/8 opening, plenty of room to add a jarful of fresh flowers or hold a custom faux arrangement. There is a black base that the container is permanently fixed to which is a 6 1/2 cube. The bronze/gold feet are ornate. The body of the container boasts alternating sides of a ringed handle and the blue macaw, so that the bird is on the front and back and there is a handle on each side. Because of this, it could be used on a dining table or sofa table where both all sides can show. Original price tag is still affixed on bottom of this lovely vintage piece that looks like it is new!
