This rain chain features longer cups adding a distinctive Arts & Crafts motif (six-square cutouts with a center "stem"). Made of pure copper, with a folded lip along the top for stiffness, each cup is welded together by hand. The heat of the torch adds the unique coloration (aging effect). This chain looks years old right out of the box! Will easily handle heavy rain. Comes with a copper installation kit for optimal water flow through the cups.
