Craft notes
The piece is finished in antique brass — a deliberately darkened patina that settles into recesses and brings out engraved detail. It softens with time and use. The piece is solid brass throughout — there is no plating, no hollow shell. Slight variations in finish, dimension, and weight are inherent to the handmade process and are part of the character of each piece.
Care & placement
Wash before first use. Hand-wash with warm water; avoid harsh detergents. Brass darkens slightly with age — a soft patina is part of the character.
