This copper vase with a lid embodies the Art Nouveau style, characterized by its organic, flowing lines and intricate detailing. The vase features a twisted, elongated form with swirling, petal-like patterns that create a dynamic sense of movement, reminiscent of natural shapes like flower buds or swirling leaves. The surface and pattern is created by hammering its inside, all handcrafted. The top and bottom sections are adorned with delicate, floral motifs that seamlessly blend into the vase's overall design, adding texture and visual interest. The lid is gently domed, topped with a handle in the shape of a leaf, and complements the vase's elegant silhouette. The base is flared with subtle, curled feet that provide stability while enhancing its graceful, nature-inspired aesthetic, typical of Art Nouveau craftsmanship.
The patina is untouched and has a deep brown colour.
