Decoration & Art Objects / Brass – Metal Decorative Object

Origin: Netherlands

Material: Hammered copper, partially handcrafted

Style: Peasant Baroque / Early Industrial Handcrafted Copperware



The set consists of two separate, yet stylistically complementary, antique copper objects:

1. Large, hammered copper teapot (with handle, rustic carrying handle)

The teapot's shape is reminiscent of the Dutch peasant stove teapots common around the turn of the 20th century.

The body is hand-hammered, and the rivets and joints are clearly visible. The handle is large and attached with curved fittings. The outward-curving spout has a wrought-iron appearance. The interior is patinated, a true sign of its age.

2. Oblong copper oil lamp / container for Petroleum Fire Tools (with a nozzle-like design)
Long, cylindrical body with a screw-on brass valve at the top. Typical function:

Container for a petroleum lamp

or a liquid container for a fire starter used in a workshop (part of a contemporary blowtorch).

The surface is made of warm, reddish brass with an even patina.

3. Copper Lid/Saucer/Base (possibly an accessory of the second object)

Solid disc of cast copper, likely forming the base or lid of the cylindrical container.

Height of the can: 25 cm
