Antique Cast Iron Bucket with Bail Handle – 12 Diameter

Description :
This antique cast iron bucket features a classic utilitarian form with a heavy-gauge body and an arched wire bail handle fitted with a turned wooden grip. Showing decades of honest wear, oxidation, and surface rust, this piece reflects authentic workshop, hearth, or farm use. One secondary handle is missing, but the main bail handle remains intact, making it well suited for decorative display, storage, or repurposing projects rather than functional liquid use. Its substantial weight and aged surface give it strong industrial and rustic appeal.
