This striking antique copper canister is a classic example of early European utilitarian design, likely produced as a hand-operated fire extinguisher or safety vessel. Its tall cylindrical form, domed shoulder, and heavy ring-handled stopper reflect late 19th to early 20th century European industrial craftsmanship, where function and elegance were closely intertwined.
Measuring approximately 13.5 inches tall and 4 inches in diameter, the piece has a beautifully aged copper surface with warm tones, subtle hammering marks, and a rich natural patina developed over decades of use and handling. The removable stopper with integrated ring handle adds sculptural interest and makes this an exceptional decorative object even outside its original purpose.
Reportedly of European origin, the form, materials, and construction are consistent with Continental copper fire safety or industrial vessels. Today, it works equally well as a standalone decorative accent, part of an industrial or steampunk-inspired interior, or within a collection of antique metalware.
