Set of 3 Antique Pierced Copper Skimmers – Iron Handles, Star Motif, 14–18"
A matched set of three antique pierced copper skimmers or ladles, each featuring a starburst punchwork design and fitted with a long, hand-forged iron handle. Likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, these tools were traditionally used for straining or may have served double duty as bed warmers near the hearth.
The copper bowls display handcrafted pierced patterns and vary slightly in tone and wear, lending authenticity and character. Each piece is finished with a hooked iron handle tip for convenient hanging, emphasizing their utilitarian charm.
