About the Item

This antique copper water bottle is believed to have been used in Japan during the early 20th century, around World War II. Over the years, a beautiful patina has developed on the copper's surface, giving it a texture that reflects the passage of time itself. Its natural scenery, which could not be created artificially, is a unique and captivating piece. This item is not only practical, but also makes a fascinating interior décor object. The back is textured, so it can be hung on the wall like an art piece. The rugged form and beautiful patina create a unique presence when hung on a white or wooden wall, adding depth to the space. It can also be filled with water, and the bottom has been treated to prevent leaks. We filled it with about one-third of water and left it for a day, and no leaks were observed, so it can be used safely as a single-flower vase. However, due to its age, leaving water in it for an extended period may cause it to leak again. For best results, change the water every day and allow it to dry. This allows you to enjoy the changing expressions of the vessel each time you arrange flowers, enriching the time you spend with it. This simple yet deeply refined copper water bottle is a masterpiece that allows you to enjoy the texture and beauty that only comes with age. It blends seamlessly with Japanese spaces, as well as modern interiors and rooms with art, exuding a tranquil yet powerful presence. Hang it on the wall, fill it with flowers, and enjoy its many uses in your daily life. Dimensions: W 18.5cm x D 4.2cm x H 19.8cm Weight: 309g Product Number: CO039
