Celestial Collection Flare No. 2

Description

The Celestial Collection Flare No. 2

No. 2 of 7 bowls

A single Flare Bowl. The second release in the Celestial Collection, designed and created by Adrian Smith; Blacksmith at Coach House Forge.

Inspired by the nature and movement of particles; where the centre of the bowl is black and this energy is dispersed to the outer edge, one can view the movement toward or away from the centre. Adrian took the sheet metal, heating it multiple times to a very high heat, and then used hide hammer and peen hammers to create different textures, finishes, and tones within the same piece. The results are a tactile bowl with a deep, darkened and smooth centre with a contrasting dotted rim that flares out confidently surrounding the bowl.

This listing is for 1 of 7 pieces in this release, which can be used as an objet d’art or a functional statement piece, in which you can display items, or use as a bowl for keeping your everyday treasures safe.

Notable points about No 2 bowl

• 8” Decagon (#2): The taller twin (just about) of the 8” Celestial Flare bowls, with a  higher voice too when the metal is excited by touch. The dark bowl in the centre has distinct patternation from the forging process, more prominent on one side. The flared rim that encases the dome of the bowl readily shows the polished metal underneath, leaving the footsteps of the hammer marks around the octagonal journey of the birth of this piece.
