Nature's Most Coveted Patina, Captured in Pure Copper
There are baths, and then there is the BC Designs Antique Copper Verdigris Green Boat Bath. A piece of living art that draws its inspiration from the aged copper domes and grand spires of Europe's most celebrated buildings — where centuries of weathering have transformed raw copper into something far more beautiful than it began.
Each bath is individually hand-formed from 99.5% pure copper at a gauge of 15–18, using techniques unchanged for generations. The gentle undulations and subtle tonal shifts in the finish are not imperfections — they are the signature of true artisan craftsmanship, and the reason no two baths will ever be the same. This is a bath that is made for you, and you alone.
The Verdigris Finish
The extraordinary exterior finish begins with the application of sulfuric acid and chalk powder to the copper surface, creating the rich antique base. The bath is then sealed with lacquer for lasting durability, before a hand-applied verdigris patina layer is added to the exterior — producing the complex, layered green tones that shift from deep forest to soft sage as the light moves across the surface. The warm copper inner provides a stunning contrast, glowing richly against the cool green exterior.
Pure Copper Performance
Copper's exceptional thermal conductivity means your bath water stays warmer for longer than cast iron alternatives. Even after draining, the bath retains warmth to the touch — a quietly indulgent detail that speaks to the quality of the material beneath every finish.
