Getting it's name from the latin Tendere meaning to stretch Each vessels shape is discovered through the raising process. As the vessl is shaped by hammer the metal is stretched and put under tension. As I discover this tenion and the shape the metal wants to form I work with it in a process of discovery rather than trying to fight it. Eventually resulting in a harmonious balanced form at once under tension and simultaneously relaxed.
Hand hammered copper vessel finished with a beautiful copper nitrate & Ferric Nitrate black, blue & green marbled patina, and a rich polished interior.
The dish is small in size fitting in the hand. It is perfect for holding trinkets and jewellery or as a statement display piece.
Each Tendere is completely unique and 1 of 1
