A rounded copper bowl tapers to a narrow base, its reddish-brown exterior defined by a hammered, dimpled texture and subtle green oxidation. The interior is coated with a mottled layer of pink enamel that meets the metallic shell at a thin, clean rim. This simple form highlights the textural contrast between the rough, dimpled exterior and the smooth, vibrant pink interior.
