I have a hard time reading the letters on it too. I will try to write how they appear to me. It looks like " LESTYNE " but I'm not really sure about the first letter. Thanks to all that has taken the time to look at this, I appreciate your input. Sincerely, andrew

Antique Questions Forum / Can anyone tell me something about this copper vessel ? Could be an ewer?

Thank you for reading this. This is a hammer copper vessel, I think it may be an ewer but I'm not sure. It is lined on the inside with silver or tin. I don't know much about it and I appreciate all of your help. It does have some kind of hallmark or something on the bottom, sorry that picture is out of focus, I'm having a hard time taking a clear picture of that.
It is 9 inches tall from the bottom to the top of the tip of the lid.







Thank you so much Drafe for the tip on taking a better picture, it worked great! I didn't know how to do that.
