History
This hand-hammered copper vase exemplifies the Arts and Crafts movement that flourished from the 1880s through the 1920s, particularly in Britain and America. The movement emphasized handcrafted quality, simple forms, and honest use of materials as a reaction against mass-produced industrial goods. The distinctive scrolled handles and hammered surface texture are hallmarks of this aesthetic philosophy. Arts and Crafts copper vessels are highly sought after by collectors of decorative arts, interior designers favoring period or eclectic styles, and enthusiasts of early 20th-century craftsmanship. These pieces appeal to those who appreciate the marriage of functional design with artistic metalwork, and they remain popular as statement pieces in both traditional and contemporary interiors for their warm patina and handcrafted character.
