Years ago I asked Antonio Ziranda to make some small seasonal squash and sent him 3 of my favorites as models. They're sculptural and whimsical - a single squash or a grouping makes a delightful statement!
Albert Berry (1880-1949) immigrated from England at a young age and studied at the Rhode Island School of Design. After years of work in design he moved to Alaska and worked as a miner.
The natural beauty of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest fascinated him. His work was heavily influenced by Alaskan and Northwest motifs which made his Arts and Crafts copperwork unique.

The Roycroft Metal Shop in East Aurora NY was in full production by 1910 and was the inspiration of Elbert Hubbard, a visionary inspired by the Arts & Crafts Movement in England that was thriving at the time.
His upbeat marketing combined with the beauty and design of the handcrafted objects that were produced in the shop made them extremely popular.
This was one of the first vases we made going back to 1994. It is simple and elegant. Master Coppersmith, Antonio Ziranda, sent me a small edition and I think you'll agree it is perfection. JUST 2!
This design originated in the Roycroft Metal Shop circa 1920 and was described as an "Inverted Bell" design and has been beautifully crafted by Antonio Ziranda.
