Process
After each bowl is cast, the bottom is machined on a lathe to shape an even and flat surface with a slight shelf. We angle-grind the edges for consistency before then tumbling for multiple days. After that, it gets burnish-tumbled, resulting in a finish that is satisfying to the touch. A light surface wax coating is applied as the final step.
Quality Control, Surface Finish, Variance
This is a hand-poured bronze bowl upcycled from the remnants of our coinmaking process. Due to the handmade nature of this object, the weight and thickness will vary. Shallow surface imperfections such as small divots are likely present, but there will not be voids of missing material.
Each order comes packed with a handwritten envelope sealed with wax straight from Shire Post Mint! Unless changed, we will hand write the name of the person listed in the Shipping Address.
If ordering a gift or if you'd like to customize your handwritten name, please include the recipient's name in the Order Notes/Personalization Options field as you complete your order.
One envelope is included in your order, if you would like to purchase additional handwritten Gift Envelopes, you can find them here.
Our Process
Shire Post Mint coins are struck one at a time in West Fork, Arkansas, USA using solid metals, hand-engraved designs, antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. For antiqued coins, the coloring/patina process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science so coins will vary slightly. Our unique packaging includes a description of each coin and translations if applicable.
We collaborate with many artists to create our coins. Learn more about our artists.
