Offered here is an Arts & Crafts Handmade Cornish Copper Tray decorated with 2 Fish.
This is all handbeaten with a Stylised design and thumb pinched edging .
The tray was made by J&F Pool Limited of Hayle , and it dates to circa 1910 to circa 1920 .
It is Catalogue number 8108.
This company was founded by James & Fredrick Pool in 1862.
This is made from very thick gauge copper and has a thumbpinched like design around the edge , but the gauge is far too thick to have been shaped by hand without a hand tool .
The entire piece measures 18.5 x 10 inches .
This has some patina from years of use and would probably benefit from a polish .
It does have some wear to the design , and I found this extremely difficult to photograph because of the lighting . Any shining marks are simply reflections .
( We have a number of other pieces of Cornish copper from a small collection that we will be listing in the coming days ) .
Good Luck .
