A distinctive set of three vintage Italian copper storage pots, handmade from decommissioned artillery shell casings. Each piece has a clean cylindrical form and a wonderfully rich, naturally aged copper patina, with subtle variations that reflect its handmade character and previous life.
The three vessels are presented in graduated sizes and work beautifully together as a collectible set. Their compact form makes them versatile decorative objects for storing small items, displaying flowers, or creating a sculptural arrangement on a shelf, console, table or desk.
Made from repurposed military materials, these unusual copper vessels are a striking example of how utilitarian objects can be transformed into decorative pieces. Found in Lecce, Puglia, they bring an understated industrial character together with the warmth and patina of aged copper.
