In its native Turkey, all-purpose copper pails like this one haul water, kindling, fireplace ashes and more. Our slightly smaller version takes up only a little space on the kitchen counter, yet holds 5 quarts. It makes an attractive vessel for storing kitchen scraps and carrying them to the compost pile. Crafted of pure, heavy-gauge copper with interesting beaded ring pattern and wrought iron accents, it will retain its mellow antiqued finish.

Leakproof and unbreakable.
