Take the cauldron on the right, for example. I love the rustic shape, but the extra detail of a repoussé band makes it irresistable. They're marketing it as an extra large planter, but I might use it for firewood too.
Many Turkish homes have a piece or two of something copper. A tray or a decorative wall panel, or the most common find, the coffee cezve. I dreamed of importing a copper hood embossed with artichokes for my kitchen. I finally found a plain one from an artisan in the Ozarks.
If you don't like to use copper in your decor, there are always cake molds or kettles to polish. I never polish my copper though. It's a pain and luckily I prefer patina. A quick wipe once in a while to keep the dust off and I'm happy.

Amen, to once in a while dusting : ) I like copper as well but my collection is limited. The kitchen hood sounds really nice thought :D

Brass is much more popular in India than copper is. My mother has a copper samovar that I will one day inherit. But I have never really found anything I particularly like in copper.
And cleaning it must be a real pain.
I think copper is a beautiful metal. Plus snails hate it, so I like it even more (because I can put it in my garden). =)
I like copper, but I think my favorite use is the copper roofs I've seen in some places. Love copper kitchen stuff though, and that pounded copper is beautiful.
