Bring charm, wisdom, and timeless artistry into your kitchen with the “A Watched Pot Never Boils” Copper Backsplash. Handmade in real copper and finished in a warm brown patina, this design features a classic kitchen scene: a curious cat watching over a simmering pot on the stove, framed by hanging utensils and the well-known proverb in raised copper letters.
This backsplash is more than decoration — it’s a conversation piece and a daily reminder of patience, crafted to add warmth and personality to your kitchen. Perfect as a stove backsplash, wall accent, or even as a stand-alone copper artwork, it blends functional durability with storytelling design.
Each piece is hand-hammered, sealed, and heat & splash resistant, making it both practical and beautiful. Over the years, we’ve created 10,000+ copper backsplashes installed in kitchens worldwide, backed by thousands of customer photos and reviews. Your backsplash will be made to order in your exact size, ensuring a perfect fit for your space.
✨ Available in all 9 patina finishes (Brown, Copper, Copper & Black, Gray, Gray & Copper, Gray & Black, Black, Blue, and Green). This listing shows the Brown Patina variation, but you can order the same design in any finish.
Disclaimer: This image is a digital preview created to show the design concept. The finished backsplash will be handmade in real copper, with natural patina variations, hammered texture, and unique imperfections — just like the examples in our customer photos.
Materials & Finishes
Materials & Finishes
Our panels are handcrafted from real copper, real brass, or silver-plated copper & brass, wrapped over a rigid composite backing.
We use 24-gauge copper/brass sheet — not thin foil, not overly heavy — combined with a 4 mm composite core for strength and stability. The result is a panel that is lightweight, durable, and easy to install.
- Metal Thickness: 24 gauge (0.5–0.6 mm)
- Backing Thickness: 4 mm composite
- Total Product Thickness: approx. 6 mm (≈ ¼ in, like a ceramic wall tile)
- Protective Finish: sealed with our special protective coating (clear lacquer) for resistance against water, heat, fingerprints, and daily wear
