Vintage Egidio Casagrande Hand-Hammered Copper Bowl
This striking mid-century hand-hammered copper centerpiece bowl is an authentic work by Egidio Casagrande, one of Italy’s most renowned metal artisans of the 20th century. Crafted with meticulous skill, the bowl features Casagrande’s signature hammering technique—an intricate play of texture that gives the surface a vibrant, rippling appearance. The scalloped rim, gracefully undulating in a petal-like form, adds depth and movement, reflecting the artisan’s sensitivity to both form and function.
The warm burnished copper tone is enriched by natural age-related patina, showing subtle variations of green and dark bronze that highlight its vintage authenticity. Each hammered indentation reveals the maker’s hand, celebrating the artistry of Italian craftsmanship from the 1950s–1960s. The bowl rests on a small circular foot, offering a sense of balance and refinement, while the underside bears the engraved “Egidio Casagrande – Made in Italy” mark, confirming its origin and quality.
Perfect as a decorative centerpiece, fruit bowl, or sculptural accent, this piece embodies the timeless beauty of mid-century Italian design—where simplicity meets artistry. Its organic shape, handcrafted texture, and glowing copper surface make it an eye-catching addition to any modern, rustic, or eclectic interior.
