David Cathers et al., Arts and Crafts Metalwork from the Collection of the Two Red Roses Foundation, Palm Harbor, Florida, 2014, p. 235 (for a related "Warty" vase)

Overall very good condition. The copper surfaces present with scattered minor surfaces scratches, discolorations, some light wear, and some instances of oxidation concentrated mainly to the base of the vase consistent with age and gentle handling. The body of the vase with some slightly darker discolorations throughout. The interior with some light surface soiling and oxidation. A sculptural form with great texture and visual presence.
