Because every rod is shaped by hand, the exact curl pattern, the height each cup sits at, and the lean of the base vary subtly between units — the piece you receive sits in the same design family as the photos but won't be a pixel-perfect match. Small marks of the smith's tools (a slight unevenness in a curl, a faint hammer mark, a tiny burr near a weld) are part of how the piece is made, not a defect.
