Why Choose This Oval Copper Bathtub?

This custom oval copper bathtub blends modern restraint with rustic warmth. Its freestanding form and symmetrical shape create a calming architectural anchor in the bath, while its surface expresses centuries-old metalworking tradition. The nuanced patina provides depth and character, making this tub feel collected, curated, and perfectly at home in a range of interior styles—from clean farmhouse to global eclectic. Whether placed beneath a skylight, near a fireplace, or in a modern wet room, it invites relaxed immersion in elevated design.

Design & Shape

The oval form provides ergonomic comfort while maintaining geometric simplicity. Uniform height along the rim enhances symmetry and supports a centered, balanced aesthetic. Subtly flared walls allow for a more spacious soaking experience, and the softened edges encourage visual harmony. This versatile shape suits both compact bathrooms and expansive suites where form and function meet.

Material & Finish

Handmade from 16-gauge recycled copper, this tub features tightly spaced hammer marks and a gently undulating surface. The finish is achieved through multiple oxidation passes over flame, resulting in a warm coffee tone overlaid with flecks of muted green and dark gray. This color shift brings quiet complexity to the tub’s visual presence while remaining adaptable to multiple design palettes. See examples of patina finishes in our patina guide.

Handcrafted in Santa Clara del Cobre

Each tub is crafted in the artisan town of Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico, by Juan Carlos Hernández and his team of skilled metalsmiths. Using traditional techniques passed down through generations, Juan Carlos shapes, hammers, and flame-patinas every surface by hand—ensuring a unique finish and long-lasting durability. His focus on proportion and texture ensures each bathtub reflects both regional character and personal pride.

Designing a Bathroom Around This Copper Tub

When designing a bathroom around this copper bathtub, it’s essential to enhance its warm tones and handcrafted elegance with complementary materials and finishes. Start with a natural palette—think cream or limestone tile flooring and white or soft beige walls to make the copper tones stand out. Incorporate wood accents, such as a reclaimed wood vanity or floating shelves, to echo the artisanal warmth. A brushed bronze or antique brass faucet mounted on the wall can further highlight the tub’s aged character. Include greenery in terracotta or ceramic pots to soften the space and introduce a fresh element. For lighting, choose fixtures with a vintage or industrial edge—matte black or oil-rubbed bronze finishes work particularly well. A textured rug and linen curtains can add softness and echo the tub’s natural vibe, completing a bathroom that feels balanced, inviting, and rooted in timeless craftsmanship.

To complete the space, add handmade accessories like a reclaimed wood bench, woven storage, or iron towel hooks. This understated design can anchor a luxurious retreat or soften the edges of an industrial bath. Its balance of color, shape, and craft speaks to both traditional and contemporary sensibilities.
