tall copper potter vessel

$1,250.00

Potter vessel tall is the slimmest version of the family of four abd vases, designed to stand on its own or as part of a grouping. Its elongated profile and narrow footprint make it especially suitable for wet or dry long stems. Its natural copper surface is uncoated, allowing oxidization to develop a unique verdigris. As a living mineral, copper leaves traces of everything that touches it, including air, which tarnishes the surface over time to a deep brown patina. Our blacksmith initiates the chemical process at the workshop with a measured degree of contact to ensure your vessel arrives with signs of oxidization already in development. Also available in small, medium and large.

Handcrafted in Toronto, each vessel comes with a glass insert for wet arrangements.

Shipping and delivery: This item is custom-made and typically ships within 4 weeks after purchase.

Care: The patina can be reduced or removed using a simple cleaning paste of table salt diluted in a ¼ cup of lemon juice. Rub the paste over the surface using a soft cloth to reach the desired shimmer. Do not rub with too much abrasion, as copper is prone to scratching. Rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
