AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique copper basin from the early 1800s with ladle.

The so-called copper "conca" was historically made and used in central Italy; it was entirely handmade in copper. Its distinctive shape allowed women to carry water from the springs to homes lacking public water networks. It was placed on the head with fabrics at the base due to its concave shape, from which the name derives. Its particular shape helped to maintain a better center of gravity and prevent tipping. It was held by the handles, but sometimes it was kept on the head even without using hands.

Material: Copper

Weight: 3 kg (2.5 kg bowl, 0.5 kg ladle)

Dimensions: 30 × 35 cm

Condition: Good (see photo)

Shipping: Standard Package
