**************

Rare copper BASIN with baluster-shaped body, knot and pedestal, octagonal section.
Height: 30.5 cm.
FRANCE, 18th century

This is most likely a coppersmith's "Prowess" or an object of mastery; all sides of all parts are cut to the template and assembled by internal welding, attesting to great technical skill.
