AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Special bedpan from the period around 1825. The pan is made of red copper and the handle is thick wrought iron. Everything is hand-forged, cut, and nailed. A fine piece of craftsmanship. A seam runs synchronously along the symmetrical shape across the top of the lid. The hinge has some wear after more than 200 years but is firmly in place.
Bedpan
In winter, bedpans were used to preheat the bed. Such a pan consisted of a flat, round iron or copper tub with a hinged lid and a few ventilation holes. It had a long metal or wooden handle and could be filled with hot stones, a shallow layer of boiling water, or glowing coals — which could not be slid between the sheets without risk...
This lot has been carefully cleaned and will be carefully packaged, sent by registered mail and insured (with Track & Trace code so you can track the shipment). Pick-up in (Ridderkerk, South Holland) is also possible. I also have tasty freshly ground coffee.
