Copper weather vanes start out their life as shiny and bright. If you keep them in the house as part of a country themed décor, they may remain shiny and bright for years. However, if you put your copper weather vanes outside, they will take on a beautiful verdigris finish as they weather and age. The longer you have your vane, the deeper the greenish finish will develop. Your vane will look wonderful either mounted on the top of a barn or in the garden from the first day when it is shiny and bright to the green beauty as it develops and deepens.
