This "bean pot" style vase is made of a medium to heavy hand-hammered copper. It has a finely rolled rim and quintessential arts and crafts form, featuring fine even hammerwork and a gently sloped shoulder. The surface appears to have its original untouched chocolate brown patina, which is slightly worn and spotted in places (see photos). The inside of the vase shows some green oxidation and a general thin encrustation over the copper, probably due to this piece having been used as a planter at some point in time. However, it is not corroded though or damaged. The quality of the hammerwork and the rolled rim point to this pot having been made by Van Erp himself rather than one of his workers (in my opinion).
