About the Item

A striking antique copper storage vessel, hand-forged with a beautifully timeworn surface and rich verdigris patina. This substantial piece features a broad cylindrical body with a gently domed shoulder and wide neck opening, encircled by a riveted decorative band. The original forged iron side handles remain intact, bearing the deep, honest rust of age. Likely originating from the Middle East or North Africa—possibly Ottoman Turkey or Morocco—this utilitarian yet artful vessel would have been used for storing grains, water, or oils in a domestic or communal setting. The surface tells a compelling story of centuries of use, with layered oxidation in deep green, black, and earthy copper tones. Its rugged, tactile quality makes it a perfect statement piece for both traditional and contemporary interiors—whether styled as a sculptural object, repurposed as a planter, or displayed as a standalone artifact.
