Description
An antique copper pot/cauldron, likely dating from the 19th or early 20th century. It features a round, bulbous body with a flared rim and distinctive ring handles, typically made of iron or brass. The vessel is made of copper or bronze, as suggested by the green-blue verdigris patina on its surface, a common characteristic of aged copper items. The pot has a round bottom, a style often used for cooking or boiling water over a fire to catch maximum heat. The ring handles are likely made of a contrasting metal like iron or brass and are attached with rivets. Originally, these types of large metal vessels served utilitarian purposes such as cooking, making jam, soap or dyes, or boiling laundry water. Today, they are popular decorative items, often used as planters, log bins, or general rustic decor. 6" H x 7.5" W Good condition.
