This product is available in two finishes: bright polished copper and antiqued (patina) copper. To obtain the charming antiqued finish, we apply a special green/blue patina to the high-quality copper material. Because our polished products are not treated with any polyurethane or lacquer, the copper will weather over time to obtain a natural green/blue patina finish. If you wish to preserve the polished look, we offer Staybrite, a clear spray-on lacquer that preserves the polished appearance of our products.
