moroccan hammam buckets

I have been lusting for vintage Moroccan hammam buckets for a while. Made from brass or copper with silver alloy, hand hammered beautiful floral and geometric designs, these one of a kind buckets are used in hammams to carry water. Nowadays their usage has been expanded thanks to some online sellers bring these exotic items from Morocco to our doorsteps. Being one of a kind and hard to find, they can be pricey. I found mine at Hivernage for a pretty good price. Planning to use it as a trash can or to hold some fouta hammam towels in my bathroom or I may use it for some fresh cut flowers. I can also use it as an ice bucket for chilling champagne :)



Gorgeous vintage hammam bucket holding some beautiful fresh cut flowers on my dining room table. The bright colors of gerberas warms my cold gray day.

I found some pictures of hammam buckets used in decoration. I hope you find their unique, exotic beauty as much as I do;
