French Stainless Steel Scalloped Bowl

Details
A handsome French stainless steel bowl with a softly scalloped edge and gently faceted sides, each panel flowing into the next with quiet rhythm. The form sits low and wide, generous enough for fruit, bread, or a simple gathering of things. Equally at home on a kitchen counter piled with fruit and produce, on a dining table as a serving bowl, or styled empty on a shelf as a sculptural object in its own right. A piece of real utility and understated beauty that moves easily through the home.

Listing is for one bowl. Edition 1 of 1.

Material
Stainless steel

Style
This bowl reflects the mid-20th century French tradition of translating classical silverware forms into the democratic material of stainless steel. The scalloped profile nods directly to earlier silver and silver-plate serving pieces, reinterpreted here with a modernist restraint. An elegant object that bridges the utilitarian and the ornamental, very much in the spirit of postwar French domestic design.

France, mid-20th Century
