Antique ottoman... ehm... something

Hi,

Tim, Rather, I've managed to open it and I believe it to be really a bed warmer! Definetly something one would put water into, 'cos it is quite heavily "laquered" in the inside, and yes, it is water tight.

No, Mark, that cylinder is a qajar candle holder http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=qajar

It is not copper made however, white metal with great patina!

No evidence of heating the bottom.

Thank to all of you, for solving that mistery!
