Blackened Copper Tumblers - A Pair folk art sewing bird I especially love the longI don't know a thing about who made these copper vessels, which I found at an antique shop nearby, but I know they are gorgeous things in terms of both form and patina, which I would used as small planters or vases. I have a vague hunch they may be French, but at any rate, they're just lovely. 4 3 16" t x 3 11 16 across at lip; 2 5 8" d at base and in very good, perfectly aged condition. Price is for the pair.
