Featured Old, older, oldest, or just beaten to death copper pitchers?

I bought these on my way home from a total bust of a church sale. They look at least partially hand made and as though someone rolled a truck over them. The larger one even has a hole in it. I bought them because those rivets on the handles look like someone slammed them in there with a hammer.

 

The question, since I'm sleep-deprived enough to have missed typing it, is what the heck did I buy this time?

 

I hope someone here can offer some help with primitive looking copper. I have some I wonder about myself but then I have some I bought new (or at least from retail stores) that are from places like Turkey that look primitive because they're making them in the same way they have for ages.

Hopefully someone will have some ideas. I'd have bought them too if the price was ok.

 

Six bucks for the pair of them. I figured that was a fairly cheap gamble.

 

No info, but a question. Does the one on the right have a broken handle, or is that the whole thing? I am looking at this thread on my phone and the pics are tiny.

 

Wow, nice primitive look and it looks like they were used a lot over the years (well loved). My guess would be 19th century blacksmith made (only a guess). Is the handle made of iron that is on the long handled pitcher?

 

Sure looks like it. One handle is broken off; I suspect cast or wrought iron. Primitive is about the size of it. It does make you wonder about where they came from. The guy who sold them just moved into the area about a year ago. He's fixing up a 1720s house that badly needs it, but all that came with the house were mice.

 

1720's mice....???......or their ancestors ??

 

These are older Middle Eastern copper wares. Doubt they are anywhere near as old as they look. Truly very old pieces would be better made.

 

Figures. (sigh) They do have the look though. Cleaned up a bit, i.e. the rest of the dust removed, they'll be great decorations. Probably worth about what I paid in scrap.
