Copper ferrats, recognisable by their two handles, originate from the Auvergne region of France. They have a dip in the bottom which was used to carry the vessel on the head or hip, using the two sturdy handles to keep steady.
These pieces, once serving a utilitarian purpose in a mountainous region of central France, can be repurposed today. They could be used as a champagne cooler, taking an impressive space on a dining table. Another way to use the ferrats is to hold logs by a fireplace, the warm copper adding to the cosy ambiance of a room.
