Brass pot value

Hello all.

I have recently purchased a huge brass pot from a vintage shop and wondered if any of you may be able to help me date it please?
Or even value it if possible?

It's a huge piece and I can't one similar online to help me.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

 

I'm afraid I think this is an India import. Value would be decorative and not antique value. Would also depend on what kind of region you live in.

@Any Jewelry do you know much about this?

 

How huge is huge? Three witches huge, Texas barbecue huge, huge enough for the natives to boil trespassers?

 

I did think that it had an indian look to it, so that would make sense I live in Manchester so probably a lesser value than London I suppose. Any ideas of what you would pay for something this size? Thanks so much!!

 

Hahah forgot to put measurements.... I would say huge enough to boil a small human
Height- 44cm
Widest part of the pot- 54cm
Narrowest part of the pot- 44cm

 

Not really, but I agree, it could be Indian. Nice shape and decoration, but no idea.

 

25 pounds...for a decorative planter....?

 

Thank you all for your thoughts. Its confirmed my suspicions.
Great welcome to the website to have such a quick response from you all. Thank you.

 

Komokwa - not much if one is going to boil l'il ole Auntie Harriet.

 

To Even Suggest Such A Thing !!!!!!

Ahhh...wait......come to think of it there may be a couple of folks out there who deserve a good '''boil in oil ''' !!!

 

I can think of one right off the bat!

 

that would require a bigger pot !!!

 

Not necessarily. But will not give recipe in this forum.
