19th ct. Hand Hammered French Copper & Brass Cramp Seamed Tankard Pot Hand Forge
19th ct. Hand Hammered French Copper & Brass Cramp Seamed Tankard Pot Hand Forged Handle"In a cramp seam, the notches (called crenellations, like the top of a medieval castle wall) cut into one piece of copper slide over the edge of the other piece along the entire length of the seam and are pounded — cramped — together until they fuse into a single layer. The smith then lets molten brass flow into the crevices along the seam to seal it, a process called brazing. (Brass and copper readily bond to each other, so the filler brass helps to strengthen the join across the layers of copper.) A well-executed brazed cramp seam with copper and brass is a strong and long-lasting join."
