Artisan technique of miniature copper cookware production:
We use both method for creating our items: mostly spinning on a lathe or forming in a press.
Spinning copper begins with a blank disc of metal, which is set on a lathe next to the chuck. A form that determines the size and shape of the pot. As the lathe spins, the copper is pressed with a roller that gradually bends it over the form until the metal has taken on the desired shape. We use ideal thickness to give the feel to our items as usual artisan copper cookware, which are relatively thick and therefore harder to bend. The roller's pressure and speed are controlled manually, requires training and skill.
The seam can be seen on the side and around the bottom of this copper item. Such seams are not a reflection of quality—very good copper items can have them.
You're also likely to encounter copper pots and pans with hammer marks on them after pressing or spinning.
Mostly, the brass handle is mounted with copper rivets, heated until softened, and then hammered into place. With each hammer blow, the metal hardens a little more. By the time the rivet is nice and tight, the metal is also hard enough to keep the handle in place.
The final step is to line the inside of the (some) item traditionally with tin and polishing.
