Bronze-plated serving dish with female figure

Bronze-plated serving bowl with a female figure.

Functional sculpture

What makes this serving bowl work is that it feels complete even when empty: the figure holds the bowl, so it doesn't look abandoned when there's nothing in it. When filled, however, the sculpture also plays a role—as if it were offering the contents.

What to use it for

For chocolates, dry biscuits, or fruit on the coffee table, or for keys and trinkets on the hallway console. It also works well as a centerpiece for a festive table setting.
