This classic, rustic copper tavern dipper serves as a beautiful nod to traditional European pub culture.

Originally designed to measure and serve fresh cider, ale, or mulled wines straight from the barrel, this piece features an interior tin lining historically utilized for safe food preparation. It makes a stunning decorative accent hanging in a country kitchen or styling a cozy fireplace hearth.
