Antique French Copper Pot w/ Flared Silhouette and Textured Surface - 9½"

This antique copper vessel presents a bold, sculptural silhouette with its broad flared body tapering gently toward a reinforced rim. The hand-hammered surface is richly worked, forming a decorative pattern of geometrical friezes that animates the metal with subtle rhythms of light and shadow. Warm tones of aged copper are enriched by natural oxidation, while the rolled rim adds both strength and refinement. The interior shows a darker, timeworn surface, bearing the patina of long and practical use. Its proportions are generous yet well-balanced, giving it both presence and elegance.

Today, the piece can be admired as functional sculpture. It works beautifully as a cache-pot for a plant, a container for utensils or kindling, or simply displayed on its own as a decorative focal point. The combination of tactile surface, warm metallic sheen, and organic form allows it to harmonize with rustic, eclectic, or pared-back contemporary interiors.
