Anna Varendorff, ACV studio —Small 'Edging Over' Thick Tube Vase in Brass

Edging Over Vase is a handmade vessel made from brass and forming an incomplete circle on a solid flat base. 

Brass is made mostly of copper, and during the soldering (making) process some pink from the copper in the brass may rise to the surface and be visible around the join. This is a beautiful marking of the hand-making process and is never the same on any two pieces.
