1920s ~ French Antique Measuring Bucket ~ Liquid Measuring Pot ~ EOC Demi - Decalitre Measurer with Handle ~ Farmhouse Bucket hotsell ~ Signed E.H.

This lovely French Antique Metal Farmhouse Bucket was used back in the day to manufacture of wine/cider/olive oil - carry and measure liquids.

It is Marked on the front with the measurement "Demi-Decalitre" which is about 1.3 gallons in US measurements and is used to hold and measure up to 5 liters of liquid as there are numbers on the inside surface on each side.

I was told it was hand forged and made of steel and is fixed with a side handle and top swiveling wire handle for easy pouring.

This is a fabulous decorative item and would look great in any country kitchen or industrial chic contemporary setting. It can be used for carry liquids or for decorative purposes such as a garden planter, table centerpiece, a vase for flowers or any elegant special display. This is a lovely item and rare given it's size and condition.

I have another 1 in a larger size sold separately at the link - Decalitre:
