Description

Ottoman Treasures Copper Temple Jars, Lidded Pair – Made in Turkey

A show-stopping duo of handmade hammered copper temple jars with removable domed lids and brass finials—each labeled Ottoman Treasures, Handmade in Turkey. The lively dimples you see are the result of planishing (thousands of hammer taps that strengthen the metal and catch the light). One jar glows with warm copper and silver-tone highlights; the other sports a dramatic verdigris—the naturally occurring surface color that copper develops over time. Think of them as architectural “mini minarets” for your console or hearth.

Educational note: Ottoman Treasures functions as a contemporary Turkish retail/export label for artisanal copperwork—no factory model codes, just honest handcraft. Decorative, substantial, and conversation-ready.

Condition
Good, distressed by design. Intentional patina and finish variations; minor rubs and oxidation from handcraft and handling. No dents or structural issues observed. Labels present; see photos.
