Overview
A vintage hand-hammered copper pot with a tinned interior, in a smaller size of the classic flared-rim form. It has a flat base and a body that narrows as it rises to a straight neck, topped by a broad flat rim that flares outward. Bands of incised lines circle the neck and the lower body. The outside has a warm, glossy copper color with light spotting, and the inside keeps its silver-tone tinning. It has no handles, which gives it a clean, simple outline. It suits a kitchen shelf, desk or windowsill, and it works well as a utensil holder, small planter cover or display piece.
Background
Hand-hammered, tin-lined copper pots like this were everyday cookware across Turkey and the wider Middle East, and the inside was tinned so the copper could be used with food. This pot is unmarked. It is hand hammered from sheet copper, with incised bands at the neck and base and a tinned interior, and it weighs 1 lb 6.1 oz.
Condition
Good vintage condition with no significant damage, and it should be able to hold water. The tinning inside is worn in places, with some brown stains on the inner wall and floor. The outside has light spotting, small scuffs and touches of green oxidation near the rim and base, and the base shows wear. Please see all photos.
Dimensions & Weight
The pot is 6 inches high and 6.5 inches across the base. It weighs 1 lb 6.1 oz.
