Details

One of two distinct styles of turned vessels created for our exhibition 'Shapes for Holding,' this collection of Utility Bowls highlights the honesty of the material and the maker's hand. Presented in the form of everyday bowls, the amber color of naked cherry is showcased in elegantly curved walls and a satin tung oil finish. Over time, they will develop a patina, showing scars when dropped and naturally darken as they age. They are truly a record of our daily lives, reflecting the beauty of living with an object that only grows more meaningful with age.
