The Salvage Vessel | Vintage Hand-Cut Mexican Brass Catchall
Dug from the dark shelves of a 40-year-old antique shop, this antique silver-plate footed dish wears its age like armor. Oval in form and resting on four ornate cast feet, it features a deeply embossed repoussé border of trailing roses and foliage.
Originating from Mexico’s mid-to-late 20th-century tradition of high-end brass and copper metalcraft, this piece brings industrial weight and historic texture to a coffee table, entryway console, or altar space. Perfect as a catchall for daily carry, incense, or displaying smaller maritime curios.
