Antique round brass and iron ash bucket, with a brass lid and porcelain knob, and a brass and porcelain handle. This unusual primitive piece appears to be made from sheet iron or steel that is shaped, secured with rivets, and painted black with a textured finish; it has a rolled top edge. The bottom is clad in brass, with a thin sheet of copper cemented to the exterior, giving it a double or triple layer for holding hot ashes. The substantial brass and porcelain handle is attached to the bucket with sturdy, spade-shaped brass hardware. The lid's round porcelain knob is loosely attached with decorative brass hardware. The ash bucket is approximately 14 inches high, including the lid, and 9 5/8 inches in diameter at the bottom. It weighs about 3 3/4 pounds. This piece shows its age in its rust pitted interior; exterior dents, dings, discolorations, and surface wear; the loose attachment of the knob; and some loosening of the copper bottom. Although rusty, the sides of the bucket are intact. The interior bottom has been lined with what appears to be black oil cloth or heavy paper, presumably to cover a rough bottom so that the bucket can be used to hold items. The interior smells of potpourri. Please refer to the 4 photographs for general appearance and condition of this piece. Shipping / packaging will be $13.00.
