About the Item

A substantial hand-formed copper vessel with dramatically aged green patina, presenting a deep cylindrical body and fitted with iron swing handles set into riveted brackets. The silhouette is defined by its weighted proportions, upright stance, and quiet sculptural character. Surface oxidation has developed into a layered verdigris ranging from deep forest tones to speckled teal, giving the piece a uniquely atmospheric finish. The interior remains dark and undisturbed, while the exterior shows the tactile traces of handwork and time — hammering, joint lines, and subtle undulations to the form. The iron handles carry a dry, matte rust surface, offering a contrasting texture against the mineral richness of the copper. A striking standalone object, functioning beautifully as a floor vessel, planter, or sculptural accent with a strong architectural presence.
