A good example of a large antique copper lidded pot dating from the mid to late 19th Century. It comes with its original lid and has large handles and stands on three brass lions paw feet. It has old engraved initials "I.M" on the top and side of the pot.
It is an excellent quality piece made from heavy gauge copper with a neat seam. It was likely a cooking pot that has had the feet added to it at a later date but it now makes a perfect fireside pot for storing kindling and it displays beautifully.
It is in good original condition. There are signs of age and use, some small dents, dinks and surface marks but nothing untoward. It has been lightly cleaned and polished to retain its lovely aged patina and is ready for use.
