Antique Roycroft Hammered Copper Vase – 1906-1910

Roycroft was an artistic community that produced some of the finest furniture, books, lamps, and metalwork of the American Arts & Crafts movement. Committed to the ideals of achieving social reform through honest handcraftsmanship, it became one of the most successful Arts & Crafts enterprises of its day. This vase is a particularly fine example of Roycroft metalwork. Its design relates to a vase known as “American Beauty Vase” that Victor Toothaker designed for Grove Park Inn, a grand resort hotel in Asheville, North Carolina. The visible hammered rivets accenting this vase are characteristic of Victor Toothaker’s designs and epitomize the Arts & Crafts movement’s philosophy of employing functional elements as decorative features. This vase is very nice original condition with a nice patina on surface. 1906 – 1910. Measures measures: 15″ height,   5 3/8″  diameter .  John and Annette purchased this vase over 30 years ago from an Antique Dealer in Pennslvania Faye C. Free.
