Vintage floating hammered copper centerpiece with a UFO like shape

When placed on a table, this vintage hammered copper centerpiece appears to float! The bowl has a wide, flat rim that curves down into a shallow, concave center. This creates an overall UFO or flying saucer-like silhouette when viewed from the side. The design is simple and functional, emphasizing the natural beauty of the material and the craftsmanship involved in shaping it.

While it has elements that could fit into both mid-century modern and arts and crafts aesthetics, I lean slightly more towards classifying this as a mid-century piece due to its sleek, simple form. However, the hammered texture and emphasis on craftsmanship also strongly evoke arts and crafts sensibilities.

This is a rather hefty piece and not the typical hammered copper you find. You'll see from the photos this is quite a thick pice of copper making this a piece that can last without warping for many years.
