Is this pure copper? It sure doesn't seem like it. I got mines 2 days ago and the copper finish is already fading. Plus it came with scratches

I've had mine a little over a year. It arrived without a single scratch and is a pure copper bowl. The finish on it is still perfect. It doesn't sound like the bowl you got is at all like mine. Can you return or exchange it?

The bowl I bought is made by Old Dutch and to the best of my knowledge is pure copper. My bowl also came with a small discoloration which doesn't affect using the bowl. The nature of copper is to discolor which can be removed with a good copper cleaner. I don't use my bowl very often so it is constantly developing a darkish coating.

I ordered this and mine is polished nickel. Not black or antique at all. And it is a gorgeous fixture! So happy with it.

It will be brass for the rest of you life. It may take on a patina over time that some find attractive. If you don't, a little copper cleaner will shine it right up.

I'm not sure, if it is copper it has been tinned or has some other type of coating

Dear customer, Thank you so much for your question. It is pure copper there is no nickle lined. Thank you.

Thought the same thing but took a chance. It is not streaky. It has a typical oil rubbed bronze finish.

The one I have is stamped Korea on the bottom, but heats up quickly and looks to be copper. I purchased a new one and it looks like copper, but think it is mostly stainless steel and took forever to heat. So I got on ebay and found the one I purchased for $35 The more expensive ones were made here in the states and get pretty pricey even on Ebay. You can't find a new one with a good copper bottom in stores. I asked in some of the best stores.

I would also assume it is scratched or damaged. Mine does not have that problem.

At first, it is a bright, shiny copper color. After being outside for several weeks, it begins to turn a dull, matte brown as one would expect from copper. As others have said, it looks and feels like copper. While I can't say it is 100% copper without doing a chemical analysis and if it is an alloy, it definitely appears to have a lot of copper in it. My instinct tells me it is 100% copper.

No. It's not real copper. It's aluminum. You can get a slight color difference from heat, but not like you would get from actual copper.

This gives my gray a copper color, like highlights , ( I would not suggest it if you have a lot of gray in a concentrated area) which I like ...I also have it in the black(noir) and I will mix the two if I want less copper( not brass) Hope this helps

I haven't stripped one of the wires down to see personally, but it's in the description and the text that it is pure copper and not CCA.

Hi TeSharra. Try this test: wet each scratch a bit (I just use a little spit) and see if the scratch is still black. If so, then the scratch is all the way down to the metal and you will need to repaint. Otherwise (the scratch has pretty much disappeared) the scratch is not too deep and you can repair it - but DO NOT use this product. I recommend instead using rubbing compound to remove the scratch followed by polish to get a nice professional finish (it takes some work and practice). About $5 for a small tub of each from Turtle Wax. Good Luck! -Joe

Captain ... I did not get the stainless steel finish ... but I did get the copper and it does show some rust around the screw points ... but since mine is out doors most of the year ... I have been very pleased with the look and performance.

My daughter has had the copper color for a couple of years and I think that the color has faded a bit. It doesn't look near as nice as it was new in the showroom and they keep it clean. So, when I decided to replace my old weber I chose the standard black and have been very happy with my decision. Hope this helps.

The sticker on it said it was 100% India copper. I haven't had it tested or anything but it looks like 100% copper to me.

We hand wash ours, which doesn't take long at all. I would expect that washing it in the dishwasher would not be good for the copper finish.
