Lot 35: A Trio of Antique Copper and Iron Utilitarian Pails
A graduated trio of heavy-gauge utilitarian pails or vessels, constructed with copper alloy bodies and reinforced iron components. Each vessel features a cylindrical body of hammered construction. The rims are fitted with thick iron collars that support iron ears and hand-wrought iron swing handles. These items are characteristic of 19th-century British metalware, likely intended for domestic, agricultural, or light industrial use. No maker’s marks or stamps are visible on the pieces. One vessel bears a modern adhesive lot sticker from a previous auction.
