Description from the seller
Authentic massive solid copper cauldron of Italian artisanal production, dateable to the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Made with the classic form slightly tapered at the center and rolled rim, it preserves the sturdy original iron handle with side supports riveted on. The surface still shows the characteristic concentric turning marks, indicative of the traditional lathe work of the tinners of the era.
According to the history passed down by the previous owners, the cauldron was used in a Lombard farmhouse as far back as the 19th century, hung over the fireplace and primarily intended for preparing polenta and other rural kitchen dishes. It was purchased by my family over sixty years ago and since then has always been preserved as a decorative accessory.
The item presents in good overall condition, with the natural patina of time, normal signs of use and light oxidations compatible with age. No significant structural deformities are present.
I have deliberately chosen not to polish it, preferring to preserve its authenticity and original patina. The future owner will decide whether to keep it as is or restore the copper to its original brightness.
This is an object that combines historical value, artisanal quality and a strong decorative impact, ideal for both collectors of antique utensils and to furnish rustic environments, taverns or country homes.

Seller's Story
My name is Roberto and I live in Milan. On Catawiki my account is called Memorie Ritrovate.
For years I select and propose objects that I consider worthy of being preserved and handed down. Each lot arises from careful research and a study of its history, provenance and market, with the aim of offering accurate and transparent descriptions.
Memorie Ritrovate is the name I chose to represent this way of working. I believe many objects are not simply items for a collection, but testimonies of eras, people and traditions that deserve to continue their journey.
I am especially fascinated by design objects, 20th-century craftsmanship, curiosities and pieces that possess a recognizable personality. I do not chase rarity alone: I seek authenticity, quality and stories worth telling.
Each object is observed, photographed and described personally. When possible I deepen the available documentation, comparing sources and previous sales, to offer collectors all useful information.
My objective is simple: to ensure that every object finds the collector or enthusiast who will appreciate it and safeguard it over time.
"Each object has a past to tell. My task is to discover it and entrust it to those who will write its future."
