There’s something about copper that I love, the way that left outside it’ll weather and turn from a burnished red to a worn green verdigris.
Polishing the copper back to it’s original splendor just doesn’t work, by the time the weather has done it’s job the surface will be pitted and cleaning the copper just shows [...]

I love this vase, I just don’t love the metal work it’s standing in!
It has three silly curvy feet and two pretty insubstantial handles and I don’t know whey they bothered. Sure it’s good to have the pot raised so that it doesn’t scratch your expensive table top. Trouble is I’m not sure scratches [...]

One would be bad, two would be worse, but three is just taking the mickey!
Someone must have been on a mad collecting spree because these vases are all the same style, but the decoration and shape of each differs. I’m not even sure which shape I prefer, the one with the long neck that reminds [...]

These two vases are just amazing, I can honestly say I’ve never seen anything quite like them and (hopefully) won’t ever again!
They’re metal, but have some sort of piping sprawling over them which I don’t think is metal, but I haven’t a clue what it’s made of. It’s chipped in a couple of places the [...]

I seem to have collected a few of these spun metal Indian vases. They’re unusual and quirky and I suspect there are many thousands of them out there.
Many are decorated with flowers, but I’ve never seen one that was plain. This is no exception except instead of the flowers it’s a more geometrical pattern with [...]

This has got to be a uniquely individual vase, well to be honest I’m not certain if it’s meant to be a vase, a planter or just ornamental!
Regardless the craftsmanship that went into making it is extraordinary! Complex templates beaten into shape from sheets of copper, riveting along each seam for strength, and then each [...]

This is a strange little vase, I’m not sure if I actually like it or not!
It’s made from metal, probably brass, and the rim and base appear to have been soldered on as seperate parts. It was made in India, and manufactured by spinning on a lathe (You can see impression where it was anchored [...]

Is it a vase or is it a planter?
The choice is yours, but this is a strange one - it’s faily unusual to find a piece made of two disparate materials, but that’s the case with this one. A ceramic bucket with a metal handle.
Unusually I know a fair amount about this one, it comes [...]
