Small Antique Vintage Copper/Iron Smelting Pot Pouring Ladle Hand Forged Long Handle Hammered & Riveted UNIQUE & OLD Beautiful and an interesting shape! It is in wonderful condition as shown in the photos. The patina as on it when I received it and I have not cleaned it. The hand-forged handle mounts are riveted iron, I believe. Dimensions are approximate (see photos with tape measure.) It has a number 3 on the handle which might mean Size 3 or 3 ounces(?) It may have been a smelting pot.
