Verdigris is a green or bluish patina formed on copper, brass, or bronze surfaces exposed to the atmosphere for long periods of time, consisting principally of basic copper sulfate.Source. This is a picture from my archives taken near Hamburg, Germany. The building dates back to 1644, according to the inscription, but I am not sure about the verdigris object...

I don't think I heard this word before. Or I've forgotten ;) Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe Verdigris certainly looks very elegant - I would like something similar in my garden - wow - I am sure it would be very costly ! - thanks for sharing - Jane UK
ReplyDeleteWhat a great word and shot. It's a new word for me but the light post my parents had at the end of the walkway to their house had verdigris. I might try to dig up an old shot of their house and steal this word from you for V another time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a new word with me too. Excellent photo of the Verdigris.
ReplyDeleteA great "V" word! And a nice illustration of it!
ReplyDeleteThe courthouse in my hometown of Binghamton, NY has that color!

OH! I love items coated in verdigris! Great post!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting!
ReplyDeletePlease come and see the Voyage of the Mermaid. Happy holidays!
One of my favourite words as well as a favourite effect. I couldn't wait so long to achieve it and had to use a paint kit instead!
ReplyDeleteInstead of looking at the Verdigris thing, I tried to read the roman n° and when I finally had them together I saw that you had written it down !
ReplyDeleteConclusion, read the whole post first !!
Interesting!
ReplyDeletePlease inspire me with your comment at my V entry thanks!
A very cool word. Good choice for V.
