Historically, coppersmiths applied tin coatings to copper vessels to render them food-safe and protect against oxidation. Over time, gentle surface wear reveals the underlying reddish copper, creating a distressed, multi-layered patina highly prized in ethnographic art collecting. The chased tree and motif designs on the lids reflect symbolic motifs of abundance and nature common across Near Eastern folk crafts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Surface Character\u003cbr\u003e• Excellent structural integrity with solid bases and intact rims.\u003cbr\u003e• Authentic vintage surface character displaying natural oxidation, oxidation tones, and gentle wear to the tin plating that reveals the warm copper core underneath.\u003cbr\u003e• Crisp, clear hand-chased relief work across both lid surfaces.\u003cbr\u003e• Lids rest flat and flush on the vessel rims for display or storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Weight\u003cbr\u003e• Height: 2.5 inches (vessels); approximately 2.75 inches with lids in place\u003cbr\u003e• Width\/Diameter: 4.0 inches (vessel maximum diameter)\u003cbr\u003e• Depth: 3.5 inches (plate lid diameter)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Belle Afrik Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60049612046622,"sku":"BA-0689","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/5176\/7326\/files\/il_fullxfull.8366009168_cetg.jpg?v=1790371818","url":"https:\/\/belleafrikarts.com\/products\/vintage-tinned-copper-bowl-set-hand-hammered-small-trinket-vessel-pair-4in","provider":"Belle Afrik Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
