Copper jug / vessel - where from?

This copper(or perhaps brass) hammered jug with brass handles(look hand forged) is about 8" tall, and about 6" in diameter. It holds just under a gallon (about 3 1/2 liters volume). The bottom is almost rounded and can just barely stand up on it's own, easily tipped over with a slight push, I don't think it's meant to sit on it's base, although if you put some sand or a folded up towel underneath it sits nicely. Is this form from somewhere in particular? Guess it was made in 2 or more pieces and then brazed together - seems to be a seam about 1/3 of the way up. The bolts that hold the handles on are iron/steel as they are the only part that attracts a magnet at all. Thanks again!!

Thanks INH! Seems like it is indeed a bean pot. Most of them have lids and a cylindrical base wherein the heat source would reside....

Googling Egyptian bean pot shows many examples...but like you said ..is it actually Egyptian? Perhaps.
