The distinctive "helmet" shape was designed to make scooping and pouring coal into a stove or fireplace as easy as possible. The blue and white ceramic handles on this particular piece are a nod to classic Dutch "Delftware" design, adding an elegant contrast to the rustic hammered or smooth copper. Rarity & Decor Potential: While standard copper scuttles are relatively common, those featuring intact, damage-free Delft porcelain handles are much more desirable. Today, they are rarely used for coal; instead, they are brilliantly repurposed as rustic indoor planters for trailing vines, chic kindling/firewood buckets, magazine holders, or simply displayed empty on a hearth. Condition: Used. Category: Collectibles › Metalware › Copper.
