Description
This authentic antique Turkish bucket features a hand-hammered copper body with a traditional tinned interior. Characterized by its flared "elephant foot" base and mid-body ribbing, the piece is topped with a substantial, decoratively cast brass swing handle. The handle is secured by ornate brass "ear" mounts with hand-peened copper rivets. Originally used in a Turkish Hammam or for kitchen storage, it now serves as a stunning rustic planter, wine chiller, or bookshelf accent.
