The bottom appears to have been repaired. However, when I tested it by filling it with water, it leaked slightly. When I emptied the water, it had a pale yellow color. The inside is as shown in the images. It seems to be a buildup rather than corrosion. There is an odor when you bring your nose close to it. It's difficult to describe, but perhaps a metallic smell? It's not a pleasant scent. I believe it's brass, not copper. The aged color on the outside is quite attractive. If you insert a holder, it can be used as a vase. It weighs 520g.
