Featured Japanese? copper bowl

Hi folks

something i picked up along side the japanese box.

was well impressed when i found it, but image search seems to suggest new

i guess they could have been made forever, so still some hope

has that lovely old smell as well, so who knows

any thoughts appreciated

 

My knowledge is well lacking but my initial thought/feeling is ‘relatively new’ But I still like it. Has the copper been ‘painted’ with something?

 

yeah i'm not 100% sure mate, but seems quite natural to me

got a touch of the greenies inside, but don't know if that suggests real age

have just learned that 'antique' smell, you can buy in spray cans from china, so don't even know if i can rely on that sense anymore

 

It is Himalayan, probably Nepali with that much copper.
Perfect for yak butter tea.

 

interesting, thanks Aj

......now...... Yak butter tea

you'd think i'd be thinking

but am actually thinking

 

Why not give it a try? My brother had some and thought it quiet nice. Not me though, I'm lactose intolerant.

 

quite nice sounds a bit shifty to me (like when someone pretends to like something because they want too but....) so might pass

nicest thing i have EVER tasted is stone cold (handmade)guanabana punch from a jamaican stall at glastonbury UNBELIEABLE

 

My brother likes fatty dairy things, so I'm sure he did like it. Not my cup of tea though.

 

me tooo so he'll love guanabana punch, thick white creamy sweet fresh delight.

gotta be handmade though of course pass it on

 

nicer than coca cola !

 

Is there any vodka in that coke?

Don't polish it whatever you do. I polished a copper service bell once because it looked a bit manky. It looked awful afterwards. I tried to fake it by putting it in the oven etc and it just didn't work.

 

It does have that new look where they age stuff then coat it with an impervious chemical to keep it that way. I'm not disagreeing with AJ though

 

Really? I am agog and aghast.

 

am trying to think of a good name for it , eau de something or other (you know something chinese sounding)

 

De shyte

 

I didn't say anything about the age.
But it isn't very old, probably late 20th-early 21st.

 

now that an idea !, don't mean about with coke either

 

That's why they call you Charlie?
