Help identifying mark on hammered copper vase, please.
The vase measures 6 3/4 inches high, about 3 inches in diameter and weighs 11 3/8 oz. I can't seem to be able to find the mark. Any help would be appreciated.

·3 years agoHey @gracieallen01. See this page for info, scroll down to COBRE:
https://www.oldcopper.org/marks/marks_co-cz.php
Cobre (Spanish word for copper). This trade mark is used by the Purepecha Indians of Central Mexico. In the 16th century, they were found making domestic implements from copper from local, surface mines. With the mines now exhausted and closed, the coppersmiths use recycled sheet.
Vase, while much smaller, is very similar in style to the cylinder copper vase from Arhaus which is handcrafted by artisans in Mexico.

OP3 years agoThank you. Believe it or not, I went to that site last night and looked, I guess when I got to that part of the alphabet, I saw the Coseley 'Brass', went on without completing that one and therefore missed it.
Once again, many thanks!
