Portero Bowl, Large

A vessel of considerable presence, the Portero Bowl commands its surface through the quiet authority of antique brass and textured glass working in studied counterpoint. At twelve inches tall and thirteen and a half inches across, the scale is generous without overstatement — proportioned to anchor a console, ground a library table, or punctuate a sideboard with the weight of considered collecting. The interplay of metal and glass, each material carrying its own depth of tone and surface, gives the piece the quality of something long owned rather than recently acquired.
