Antique Arts & Crafts Copper Vase Unsigned Dirk Van Erp

This reminds me a bit of the work done by potter George Ohr.

I have never seen this done to a bronze shell, which must have required heat and a tremendous amount of pressure.

This shell has markings which are consistent with known early works by Dirk Van Erp.

This is in good condition with normal wear, and one 1/4" wide dent/crease on the lip.

This measures about 7 5/8" high, 2 1/2" wide and opening measures 1 7/8" in diameter and 2 1/2" in diameter at the base.

This weighs about 1 lb 14 oz (before packing).
