Know before you buy
Each vessel is crafted from a single sheet of annealed brass that is meticulously hand-beaten and bashed by skilled artisans. This manual process ensures that no two pieces are exactly alike, giving every vessel its own distinct silhouette.
While the Bash Vessel is designed as a decorative object, it is made of brass and can hold water. However, please note that the hand-hammered construction may result in slight variations in the base, so we recommend using a coaster or protective surface underneath.
To maintain the luster of the brass, wipe the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the finish and the unique texture of the metal.
Yes, the vessel is food-safe and makes a striking centerpiece for displaying fruit. Because it is made of raw brass, the metal may develop a natural patina over time when exposed to air and moisture, which is a characteristic of the material.
Yes, as an untreated metal, the brass will naturally oxidize and develop a unique patina as it ages. This process adds to the character of the piece, though you can use a high-quality brass polish if you prefer to maintain its original, bright finish.
