16455. Armenac Hairenian Hammered Copper Two-Handled Vase after 1925. Interesting execution of crimped seam construction. One of the most interesting Hairenian vases we have seen. Hairenian was a little sloppy with the braising of the seams. He was an extremely talented coppersmith, but this lack of attention to every detail may be why he stopped working for van Erp and opened his own shop in 1925. Signed. Excellent new patina. Hairenian worked for Dirk van Erp in San Francisco prior to opening up his own shop in 1925.
