Description
This is a round marble bowl, carved with deep vertical ridges that run from the centre out to a scalloped, wavy rim, so from above it looks like an opened flower or a fluted shell. It is made of 100% marble in beige, with soft darker veining running through the stone. At 17.5cm across and 6cm tall it is a shallow, open bowl rather than a deep one, and at 1.44KG it is a reassuringly weighty piece that sits firmly in place.
The maker states it is food safe, so it earns its place at the table as well as on a shelf. The size suits a small serving of olives, nuts or sweets on a kitchen island or dining table, or a few clementines on a sideboard. Away from food, it makes a handsome catch-all on a coffee table for keys and loose change, or a dish on a dressing table for rings and earrings. It suits anyone who likes natural stone and a sculptural shape on display, and it makes a considered housewarming gift.
The marble has a polished finish, which brings out the veining and gives the ridges a soft sheen. It is not dishwasher safe, so wash it by hand, and it is not for the microwave or the oven. Marble is a natural stone, so the veining and tone vary from one bowl to the next, and yours will be its own. For styling, set it on a stack of books on a coffee table, or pair it with pale wood and soft textiles, where the beige stone and the radiating ridges show at their best.
