[Sca-cooks] Brass & Copper Pitchers

[Leah A. Montgomery]

*sigh* Nope, it's paint. It looks really close to the copper patina, and if
it didn't look so tacky, I'd take my hat off to her for it. I'm just hoping
that it's not ruined for use because of the paint. If it was just a patina,
I'd have no problem getting it off.
