"Revere" Copper Wall Vase

The Revere Copper Company was started by Paul Revere in 1801 in Massachusetts.  By the time this unusual wall vase was made, the company, through various mergers and acquisitions, was headquartered in Rome, N.Y.  From 1935-1941, the company produced a line of high quality "giftware" and commissioned the services of well known industrial designers to produce luxury goods with a clean, modern look.  This wall vase has a circular copper back plate and a spherical copper vessel which is held in place by a brass ring.  It would look great with a few tulips or a small plant.... or on it's own as a sculptural, decorative wall piece.  11 1/2" diam.  American, c. 1930's SOLD
