Shovel Embers Or Cover In Iron And Bronze Marked Alphonse .v. This shovel was used to fill the cover, a kind of bucket made of metal or earth with a handle in which we put embers. It served as a heater for women and street vendors. Pipe smoker's companies placed it in the center of the table and each smoker used a tweezer to fire a pipe.
