Master Series Special Editon 3-sided Hand-hammered Copper Vase

I was surprised to discover this contemporary design at the Copper Museum in Santa Clara del Cobre years ago. The director said Antonio Ziranda was the creator and that’s how I came to know him. Antonio now makes the entire Cobre Collector Series and I just received a small edition of this beauty for the holidays. At 12″ high x 12″ wide it’s yours for the special holiday price of $325. Don’t delay – we only have 4.

13″ Hand-Hammered Eucalyptus Copper Plaque

This turn-of-the-century Art Nouveau-style plaque was inspired by Danish metalsmith, Elizabeth Soderberg (circa 1909).

The original plaque measures approximately 16″ wide but we scaled it down to 13″ wide to accommodate today’s homes.

Elizabeth Soderberg (1861-1939) was born in Denmark and arrived to Sydney in 1890 with her husband. She is considered one of Australia’s most gifted early 20th century metalworkers and exemplifies the first generation of Australian Arts & Crafts artisans. She was active between 1906-1922 and drew upon motifs from her early Scandinavian heritage and later Australian surroundings, and applied them according to the principles of the British Arts & Crafts Movement. Soderberg joined the Society of Arts and Crafts of New South Wales (Australia) in 1907 which played an important part in her career as she displayed her work in their exhibitions annually from 1909 until 1922. Her work is respected for its bold and fluid rendering of indigenous flora and fauna. (courtesy of “Style 1900” magazine winter/spring 2002 issue, pages 42-47)

NEW 10″ Hand-Hammered Copper van Erp-style Vase 

The inspiration for this vase was a 17″ brass vase made from a shell casing that is credited to Dirk van Erp, circa 1912 to 1929. Antonio Ziranda has beautifully replicated van Erp’s vase – I’m sure he would be pleased to see the tradition carried forward. Introductory price for this 10″ vase $175 (regularly $210).

Just in Time for Fall: 12″ Teco-style Copper Vase

The inspiration for November’s offering is a Teco Pottery vase I saw while touring the Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio, Oak Park, Illinois in the mid-1990s. We originally made the copper Teco-style vase in several sizes (18″, 21″ and 24″) but the massive scale didn’t work for every home. At 12″ high this beauty is yours for $185 (regularly $235).
