<p>[QUOTE="Kevolee, post: 2828491, member: 2594"]Hi, I am pretty sure this isn't a Pier One reproduction, though some of that stuff has fooled me before. It stands around 14 inches tall and is around 9 inches in diameter at its widest point. It was fastened together in segments and the finish, paint or whatever it would be called is interesting. I thought it was tin, but there are a few places with very small scratches where the metal appears to be gold colored, so maybe copper. It isn't especially heavy, 3.1 pounds, though the metal isn't especially thick either. There was felt on the bottom that I removed so that is what the textured lines are from. Thanks in advance for any help or ideas. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]282029[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]282030[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]282031[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]282033[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]282034[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]282035[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
