Additional Description: A handsome set of three copper hanging bowls marked "Turkish by Incirlik," each with a suspended loop handle designed for hanging or wall display. The bowls feature a classical hemispherical form with visible and richly aged copper surfaces that have developed into varied patina of warm reds, browns, and natural oxidation.
This type of bowl was commonly produced in Anatolia and exported widely during the mid-20th century for decoartive and household use. The attached ring allows the bowls to be hung on a wall hook, beam, or rack, where the warm copper tone creates a striking rustic accent.
The "Turkish by Incirlik" references Incirlik, an area known historically for craft production and export goods supplied to Western markets, particularly during the post-World War II period when Turkish copperware became popular decorative imports.
These bowl work beautifully as wall decor, rustic kitchen accents, or tabltop catchalls, and the heavy cooper construction gives them a substantial feel.
