like the answers so far...... As this looks like something antique I won't stand a chance - far too young for that......ha ha. I'll have a guess at a foot warmer/bath.

Are questions allowed?

Is it allowed to ask how big it is?

Chamber pot or bedpan

Well, without knowing how big it is, it's rather difficult! If it is sardine tin sized, then both these suggestions are ridiculous. However it's clearly home made as in all my years of rummaging around the mercatini, I've never seen anything similar. Bedwarmers usually have a hook to hang from the "prete" and not scorch the sheets. Boh!

It looks a bit like something you could use for carrying a candlestick around on/in, to catch the hot wax drips. saving the carpet and your hands

Thinking outside the box as ever; could it be that this object is in fact 50 metres long by 30 metres wide, and is a partially covered swimming pool?

It has a handle so presumably it's carriedIt's copper so there might be heat involvedIt's not clear if it's hinged and even if it was the "folded over" part isn't big enough to cover the entire top so it's unlikely to be a bed warmer.Best guess - it's some sort of cooking pot - maybe a prototype fondue pan?

I like Postmac's logic but I think it goes down the wrong track, 1) Handle, would diagree with that, clearly this is a harness device to tether the rats 2) It is copper but I believe that is to counteract corrosion whilst buried 3) Not Clear if its hinged - this is a design feature so that mouse relatives can pay respects Im sticking with Viking Mouse Coffin
