Description from the seller
Antique Dutch Copper Milk Churn – 1870s
A striking antique Dutch milk churn dating from the 1870s, featuring a substantial cylindrical body, tapered shoulders, two sturdy loop handles and an integrated copper lid. The embossed number 8216 and the lettering “DE ZO HOEK” give this impressive piece distinctive historical character.
Crafted from copper with traditional soldered seams, the churn displays a beautiful reddish-brown patina, with areas of natural oxidation and green verdigris. The visible surface marks, small dents and signs of age reflect its authentic working history.
Milk churns were essential equipment in traditional Dutch dairy farming, used to collect and transport fresh milk from farms to dairies. The Netherlands has a long-standing agricultural and dairy heritage, making original copper vessels such as this particularly appealing to collectors of Dutch rural antiques.
With its substantial weight, traditional craftsmanship and authentic aged finish, this is a real eye-catcher for a farmhouse interior, rustic kitchen or industrial-style space.
