An old measure of capacity in copper, of the double deciliter type, identifiable by the inscription stamped on a brass plate.
The piece features a robust and utilitarian construction: copper body, brass fittings, riveted iron handle, and a cross-assembled base.
The shape, with a spout, corresponds to measures used for repeated and precise use.
A hallmark "E.P." is visible on the body. The patina is old, marked by time and use, with no cleaning or refurbishment.
The visible traces are an integral part of the object. An antique item, now sought after for its character and presence.
