Vintage Hand-Painted Tole Cachepot

A hand-painted tole cachepot in the Monteith style — the scalloped, wave-edged rim characteristic of that form — set on black ball feet and decorated with clusters of grapes, curling vines, and autumn leaves in warm gold and bronze tones against a rich black ground. The gently oval body and hand-detailed brushwork give it real presence on a sideboard or entry table, whether used to hold a plant or simply displayed on its own. A nice example of the tole tradition: thin sheet metal, hand-painted and finished by hand.
