Description
The Forleyet decorative bowl is a long, shallow oval in aluminium with a warm gold finish that sits close to brass in tone. The surface is textured all over, with a hammered, rippled look that catches the light, and the rim breaks into an irregular, torn edge along one side, so it reads more like a piece of sculpture than a dish. It measures 41.5cm long, 14.5cm wide and 4cm high, which gives you a generous length for a table or sideboard while keeping a low profile that will not block a view across the room.
This is a decorative piece for indoors, and it is not made for food, so think of it as somewhere to gather small things rather than a serving dish. Run it down the centre of a dining table, set it on a hall console as a home for keys and sunglasses, or let it sit on a coffee table or mantelpiece holding pine cones, dried flowers or a few favourite stones. The long, narrow shape suits a slim surface such as a windowsill or a bookshelf, where a round bowl would take up too much depth. It suits anyone who wants a warm metallic accent without the weight of a heavy brass piece.
Each bowl is handmade, so every piece is unique: the texture and the line of the torn rim will vary a little from one to the next, and yours will be its own. Aluminium is a light metal that does not rust, and at 0.5KG the bowl is easy to lift and move between rooms whenever you fancy a change. It is not dishwasher-proof and not for food use, so keep it for display and give it a spot where it can be admired every day.
