Neat.
Pot was probably cold worked into shape, after the initial ingot was hammered hot into a sheet, and is now being heated to remove the work hardening so it's not brittle.
Copper is pretty soft; a lot of stuff made from it was traditionally hammered into shape cold; still done that way in places.

There was so many details to this that made it all the more fun to look for them.
The key over the shoulder to keep it away from heat
The ring of metal balls on the tail to keep it down out of the forge when he turns.
The fold over on the apron, and other details...
Very nicely done
