Large 9-inch hand forged artisan hammered copper bowl by Old Mission Kopperkraft (OMKK), San Francisco, circa 1922–1925 — one of the rarest and most collectible names in American Arts and Crafts metalwork, active for only three years before the firm closed.
The bowl presents a wide, shallow oblate form with a gently rounded rim and a low footed base, standing approximately 3 inches high. The entire exterior surface carries dense, even peen work in the characteristic OMKK style, with incised banding at the shoulder transition.
The interior retains a rich, dark original patina with warm copper tones showing through. The base bears two impressed stamps: the iconic Mission Dolores building mark reading OLD MISSION KOPPERKRAFT / SAN FRANCISCO, and the secondary arm-and-mallet maker’s mark reading MADE BY HAND — confirming production under Fred Brosi’s direct supervision.
