Characterful hand-raised copper cauldron with brass rim and swing handle, set on three ball feet and finished with foliate strap mounts—pure late Victorian/Arts & Crafts hearth style. The rounded belly and warm, timeworn patina make it a gorgeous fireside planter, utensils pot, or tabletop cachepot. I’d line it if using for live plants.

Honest, decorative condition with bumps from life, scattered verdigris, old solder and polish residue at the strap mounts, and age marks to the surface; handle swings well and it stands square on its feet.
