This is unusual and most likely come from a a small production home canning operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey have that warm, lived-in copper color that immediately brings a French kitchen to mind. Not polished to perfection. Not stripped of their age. Just beautiful old copper softened by time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two basins nest together beautifully, which makes the pair especially appealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach one has a rounded copper body with a rolled rim and side handles in brass. The larger basin has a wider, lower form, while the smaller one sits comfortably inside it, giving the set a natural sense of proportion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surfaces show the age in a way I really like. The copper has deepened into warm tones, with darker areas, surface wear and signs of years of use. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, they would be beautiful used together or separately. Individually, they could hold fruit, linens, market vegetables, pinecones, or seasonal greenery. Together, they layer beautifully into a copper collection, where the different sizes and brass handles give the pair that relaxed \"collected\" feeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is something very French about copper pieces like this. They were made to work, but they still bring warmth and atmosphere into a room. This nesting pair has that balance of usefulness and beauty that makes old kitchen copper so easy to live with.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53503706759511,"sku":"COP-071","price":845.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-copper-basins-nesting-pair-brass-handles-2.jpg?v=1778483667","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-copper-basins-nesting-pair-brass-handles","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
