The basin is copper with a tin lining.It is in very condition for being from the early 1900's.It is from a French farm outside of Chateau neuf du Faou,Brittany,France. It is totally hand tooled. The wash basin would sit on a grate over an open fire,when the water was hot,it was removed to a metal or sometimes wooden stand for use.The base of the pot is black from the soot of the wood fire.The copper is in very good condition as is the tin liner.
