Know before you buy
The copper is intentionally left untreated, meaning it will naturally oxidize and darken as it is exposed to air and handling. This creates a unique, rich patina that gives the bowl a vintage, lived-in character unique to your home.
Yes. If you prefer the bright, polished look over the aged patina, you can easily restore the finish using a standard copper cream or polish.
Yes, the bowl is designed to be used as both a punchbowl and an ice bucket. It is food-safe, though you should clean it with mild soap and water after each use to maintain the integrity of the copper.
The bowl measures 18.75 inches in height and 22 inches in width. Its substantial size makes it an ideal centerpiece for large gatherings, though you should ensure you have enough table space to accommodate its 22-inch diameter.
For daily maintenance, simply wipe the bowl down with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface, and use a dedicated copper cream only when you want to remove the patina and brighten the metal.
