Beatriz Ball Ocean Nautilus Dip Bowl $147.00

Everyone knows how the saying goes: “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Well then, it’s time to behold the metallic wares of Beatriz Ball – few eyes would ever call these lustrous objects anything less than gorgeous. But their beauty goes beyond their opulent looks; it lies within the handmade nature of each and every piece. In 1991, the Beatriz Ball Collection began to work hand-in-hand with local metalware artisans on the outskirts of Mexico City in order to create modern, innovative wares in a special alloy of many different metals. Many of these people continue to work with Beatriz Ball today, creating their brilliant products one by one using the ancient art of sand casting. That means that each and every Beatriz Ball piece is made by pouring a premium quality alloy of molten aluminium into a sand mould, and before it then goes through four levels of polishing to bring out its reflective gleam. Inspired by the artistry of nature, the Ocean Nautilus Dip Bowl will bring some coastal charm to your home. Its bright, polished finish gleams beautifully in the light, with an organic spiral form resembling that of a seashell. Versatile and unique with a built in dip bowl, this design is ideal for serving nibbles and condiments, seafood, salads and more. Revel in the splendour of the seaside...
