Setup/Care

We recommend that you DON'T polish your copper pieces. Polishing will diminish the unique heat patina finish. Fine steel wool or a coarse-napped terry cloth can be used on the copper to restore its luster.

Product Usage

Copper is not recommended for food usage. You will need to line your copper tray with clear plastic or glass to keep the food from coming in contact with the copper. A simple solution is to use large lettuce leaves as a base.

Craftsmanship

Bonfire Copper copper is crafted using a centuries-old bonfire method. The copper is heated in a bonfire and then worked with hammers to create the designs. The flame, ash and soot from this process produce this rich chestnut heat patina finish. This bonfire method is chemical-free. No chemicals are used to achieve the patina. No molds are used. The artists use a pattern and individually craft each piece by hand, hammered from a single lump of copper.

Summary

Each bowl, regardless of its size or design, makes a wonderful addition to your home décor. These versatile, yet sustainable home accents are of heirloom quality and will be a part of your family for years to come. Also, because they are made of reclaimed copper, you help the planet for years to come as well. Enjoy style and sustainability in an enduring work of art.
