We don't know how old it is, and we're not sure if it's solid brass or brass over copper. But...it sports the "Cobre" manufacturer's mark. It may possibly be a different Cobre company from many years ago. What we do know is that it is a unique, graceful shape, and appears to be hand made (as all Cobre pieces are.) If you are into metals or Cobre pieces, and have the time to research it, take your chances with this very reasonably priced piece. You might end up on Antiques Roadshow! Lacquered finish; 5" X 7" X 3" high
