Description
The Forleyet Decorative Bowl takes the shape of a long, shallow leaf, made from aluminium in an antique nickel colour. A raised central vein runs along its length, with fine embossed ribs fanning out on either side, while the rest of the hollow has a speckled, slightly rough texture and the smooth rim curls gently upwards at each end. It is 38.5cm long, 14cm wide and 8cm high, and it weighs 0.85KG. Aluminium is a light metal, so the bowl is easy to lift and move whenever you fancy a change.
Its long, narrow shape suits the slim surfaces where a round bowl would crowd things: a hallway console, a mantelpiece, a deep windowsill or the centre of a dining table. It is not for food use, so treat it as a handsome catch-all for keys, sunglasses and jewellery by the door, or as a resting place for pine cones, dried seed heads and small stones on a sideboard. The antique nickel colour sits comfortably beside chrome, silver, white marble and soft greys, and it brings a little botanical detail to a modern room without adding clutter. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes natural forms in their home.
Every bowl is handmade, and every piece is unique, so the speckling across the surface and the depth of the ribs will differ a little from one bowl to the next; that variation is the mark of the hand, never a flaw. The antique nickel colour shows a darker tone settled into the veins and a brighter sheen along the rim, which gives the leaf its depth. This decorative bowl is not dishwasher-proof, so clean it gently by hand, and keep it for display rather than serving, since it is not intended for food. A quick dust now and then keeps the embossed pattern looking crisp.
