Bidspirit auction | Two Pieces of Traditional Copper


Two Pieces of Traditional Copper Hollowware including a Pitcher and a Lidded Vessel - This lot comprises two pieces of copper hollowware, likely of British manufacture and dating from the late Victorian or Edwardian period. The first item is a copper pitcher or ewer featuring a bulbous body that tapers to a narrower neck with a flared pouring spout. It is fitted with a large, sweeping copper handle attached at the rim and the shoulder. The second item is a cylindrical copper lidded vessel, possibly a dairy pail or ale muller, featuring a stepped base and a slightly domed lid with a central loop handle. This vessel is equipped with a tall, upright wrought iron handle secured to the body by two heart-shaped copper brackets with rivets. Both items exhibit hand-assembled construction with visible soldered seams. No maker marks or hallmarks are visible, although two small orange adhesive labels are present on the exterior surfaces.
