Vintage Decorative Copper Hollowware Collection

This collection features a variety of decorative copper and copper-plated kitchenware and household items, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. The assembly includes a small oval planter or basin with decorative ring handles, two distinct pitchers—one with a wide, flat handle and another with a traditional curved handle—and a large cylindrical mug or tankard resting on a matching rectangular copper tray. A small, shallow round dish is also visible in the foreground. The items exhibit a range of warm metallic tones from bright unoxidized copper to deeper bronze-colored patinas. Many pieces show signs of age including surface scratches, some localized tarnish, and slight iridescence often found on decorative-grade copper. The construction techniques, such as the riveted handles on the tankard and the rolled rims on the basins, suggest a combination of machine spinning and manual assembly. The overall aesthetic is rustic and colonial-revival, common in farmhouse decor. No specific maker's marks are visible in the provided image, but the quality of the finish suggests these are mass-produced decorative items rather than professional-grade culinary copper, which would typically be lined with tin or stainless steel.
