George comments: " It would appear that at some stage the bottom has been reattached to the main part of the structure. The two lamp boxes on the side are in need of a bit of TLC, there has been an attempt in the past to re secure the sides of one of them.
The starboard side is the one with the lid.
The interior of the bowl
still requires some work doing to it, but most of the old paint has now been
removed. However the tarnish that has formed over the years presented a
problem.
A good Copper Smith would
come in handy to re-solder the seams on the boxes. If you look close enough
at the photo, an attempt at one stage to repair the port side using pop
rivets and a copper bracket has been made. This has proved un-successful.
