Hand-Hammered Lidded Round Tin Cooking and Serving Dish golden wheat he's in generally good conditionI think this lidded bowl is truly a gorgeous object, with a wonderful form and fantastic patina from age and use. I've found a few online with the same shape and structure, either clearly made of copper or described as tinned copper. I am not certain but it looks to me like this one is simply tin; either way, the metal is definitely hand hammered, and the irregularities make it really beautiful. I believe this would have been used for cooking as well
