I have this copper on pottery footed bowl. I bought it in a junk store in Arkansas in the 1960's just because I thought it was very pretty. I have enjoyed it all these years but I don't have a clue how it was made. It almost looks ancient. i think it probably is handmade. It is 8 3/4" wide, 13 3/4" long and 4 3/4" tall. It has water sediment on the inside, probably had been used for a plant. The copper is mostly gone from the inside of the bottom but the copper is still completely over the outside. There are no identifying sympols that I can tell but there are marks like a fork type instrument was used to press the copper on the bottom. There is a small wire loop on the bottom and there are 2 rusty lines in the pottery on the inside. I would love to know who, where and how it was made and if it has value what the value is. I am attaching pictures which were taken some years ago after I had cleaned the copper but since I haven't cleaned it again the old patina is returning.
Thank you for any help you can give me. Margaret Witt in Oklahoma
