The exterior carries a warm oxidized surface with scattered pale mineral deposits, heaviest around the upper collar and across the base. The interior shows a broad band of green patina running around the lower wall and base, with bare copper above it. None of this has been cleaned back or polished out, and I would leave it alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe brass along the vertical body seam and around the base is brazing from the way the pot was put together, not decoration. It shows as a raised yellow line and is visible in the photographs. At one point on the rolled rim, where the roll passes over the brazed seam, there is a small gap in the roll. The base is flat and the pot sits without rocking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe form is hand raised, so it is not perfectly round, and the opening reads slightly oval in the overhead photographs. That is normal for a raised vessel and not damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eI have not water tested it, and I would not treat it as watertight. Use a nursery pot or a liner inside it for anything living, which is how it is shown here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlease review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736179507478,"sku":"AMD-13642","price":200.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Belgium_FranceContainerInventory-10530.jpg?v=1787192294","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie-design.myshopify.com\/products\/vintage-hammered-copper-planter","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
