Title: Vintage COPPER Pot
Post by: antiquerose123 on May 17, 2009, 06:15:27 AM

Hi just got this (here's me hogging the board again...) ;D .....garage sales time again... :cheerleader:

It is a copper pot, with like lion heads on it.  Looks to be a bit old.  There is a label on it that says *Made in Holland* so I am wondering if anyone can date this by the looks, or the label.  Is it vintage, or not....

Any other info most welcome...TIA

Whoopsey.........  :o :o

Maybe this is/was Worth some $$$$$.  See link here of a different design, but from the 1950...the second link has a lion head Motif too....

The only thing I know to look for with copper is the tubular handles,if there is a seam then it has some age(how much I'm not sure ???)and any seams in the body should be crenelated you know like a castle wall,afraid that's my total knowledge in copperware ;D
