18th - 19th Century Hammered Copper Pot, with lid

This is another unique item being offered, it is a very early hammered copper pot, circa 1820 – 1840. With the lid on it measures 5” high and the diameter to the ends of the handles is 9”. It is complete with a lid that has a crudely attached handle and the body of the pot also has handles.

This style was known as copper cooking trade pans. The brass handles are peened with rivets. It has the original blue-green patina and has never been cleaned which is rare today. 

The size of this pot would be something typical of what a Revolutionary War or Civil War soldier would have used – probably more so in a winter camp.
