19th century COPPER BED WARMING PAN

I have owned this item for 38 years.
I bought it for 1 pound (GBP) from a clothes stall in a street market in London early one morning.

I have just looked up on eBay and have found a very similar bed warming pan in America, dated 1850.

The 'punched' decoration on both pans is very much alike, as are the vent holes around the lids.
The decoration is in the form of stylised flowers and leaves, all most beautifully executed and displayed.
