I shared pictures and details with an art appraiser, and his assessment was: Your copper bucket, featuring brass hinges and a wrought iron handle, is a classic example of 19th-century European craftsmanship. The combination of materials and the absence of maker's marks suggest it was likely handcrafted by a local artisan rather than mass-produced. Such buckets were commonly used for domestic purposes, including carrying water or storing coal. The use of brass hinges and a wrought iron handle not only provided durability but also added to the aesthetic appeal of the piece. In today's market, similar antique copper buckets typically sell for between $200 and $250. Given your bucket's good condition and distinctive features, it would likely fall within this range. An interesting tidbit: during the 19th century, copper was favored for household items due to its antimicrobial properties, which helped in maintaining hygiene in daily chores.
