Metal Medium Mother of Pearl Dish
DETAILS
From the archives, our Mother of Pearl Dish is re-editioned in solid brass and silver-plate. Once in matte resin, the round, symmetrical catchall is now finished in high polish metal, resulting in a hypnotically reflective, yet sculptural object. Its new-found weight adds permanence to the form, adding utility as a paperweight or to rest incense cones and tea-light candles.
Cast in small batches, each dish holds trace of the handmade process. As the surface remains untinned, this object is not designed for food service, but as a tactile catchall for delicate treasures. Responding to use and its environment, the high polish finish will shift, exposing character markings, texture and Developing a natural patina.
Available in solid brass, left raw or coated in silver-plate.

Care
Metals may scratch or dent upon impact; handle with care. Not suitable for food service. To maintain, simply polish with soft cloth provided routinely. The original finish will oxidise, revealing a distinctive patina overtime. To your preference, use a quality metal polish to restore brightness and shine on brass only. Use or exposure to other chemicals, environment, abrasive materials or excessive friction may cause this to wear. Do not clean in dishwasher.
