A hand hammered vessel and variations of stands forged from pure copper.

Forging is the process of heating a metal until it becomes malleable, like clay, and can be shaped with hammer and anvil, or other means of force. Forging is distinct from casting, where a metal is melted and poured into a mold.

The vessel is hand hammered from a thick sheet of copper. One stand is of riveted construction, the other a coiling formed from a single flat bar.
