Its proponents, including designers like William Morris, advocated for traditional craftsmanship and simple, elegant designs inspired by nature. Copper was a favored material for its warmth and malleability, and the handhammered finish seen on this vase was a popular way to showcase the artisan's skill. This piece fits perfectly within that aesthetic, highlighting the beauty of the material and the organic floral design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDescription \u0026amp; Condition\u003c\/b\u003e\nThe vase is a tapered cylinder, with a decorative band featuring a raised floral design and a hammered, dimpled texture on the body.
