Description
The Forleyet is a wide, shallow decorative bowl in metal, finished in a brushed brass colour that reads as a soft, warm gold. It measures 40.5cm across and stands just 2.5cm high, so it behaves more like a low, rimmed platter than a deep dish. A neat raised rim runs all the way round, with gently sloping sides leading down to a broad flat base. The brushing shows as a fine circular grain across the surface, which catches the light without the glare of a mirror polish. At 1KG it has a reassuring weight in the hand, yet it is easy to lift and move from room to room.
Because it is so shallow and so wide, this decorative bowl comes into its own as a tray for gathering small things together. Set it on a coffee table to hold a couple of vases and a small potted plant, place it on a sideboard as a home for keys and post, or put it on a dressing table to keep perfume bottles and jewellery tidy. We like it on a dining table between meals as a calm, warm centrepiece. It suits anyone who likes a room that feels considered rather than cluttered, and its gold tone sits happily beside wood, marble, linen and darker paints alike. This is a piece for indoor rooms.
Each bowl is handmade, so every piece is unique: expect small variations in the grain and tone from one to the next. It is not for food use, so treat it as a display piece rather than a dish for fruit or snacks. It is not dishwasher-proof either, so keep it well away from the dishwasher. Placed under a lamp or near a window, the brushed gold surface gives back a soft glow through the day, a quiet finishing touch for a well kept room.
