The dimensions of this bowl are 1.75" tall x 6" wide x 9.25" in depth.
This bowl has taken me about a year to produce. In terms of aesthetics, it is one of my favorite products. Supple, smooth, and sinuous, it was certainly the most challenging product to craft that I offer for sale. I started by sculpting a big hunk of clay with the help of a couple rulers and calipers. After many incarnations, castings in plaster, refinements, and hard work, I settled on this casting. I am glad to be finished with this project.
All of our items are one of a kind. I cast each unit in a hand made mold for about a week. I then hand burnish each, and then apply three coats of FDA approved sealer.
This item is not composed of typical concrete. It has taken me years to perfect this mix design. All of our concrete items are composed of an advanced cementitious mix which utilizes extremely small particulate, very little water, and reactive recycled pozzolans...The result is an incredibly strong, smooth, and tactile surface that is more similar in physical characteristics to ceramic or aluminum than it is to concrete!
Please note: While our concrete mix design yields an aesthetically predictable product, our concrete can display slight variation in color and in texture. This creation will only get better with age, developing rich character and patina as it ages. Because cement cures at an asymptotic rate, all of our concrete products actually get MORE durable as the years go by!
**BEWARE OF IMITATORS!!!**
It has taken me years to produce a concrete product that is not only strong, but painstakingly sealed and burnished with three coats of our own, third party tested, FDA approved sealer. Our sealer increases durability and improves the tactile qualities of our concrete. Beware of unsealed concrete imitations which cause caking of salt and spices and will eventually effloresce (stain). While we are flattered to have imitators, we are even more flattered and grateful to the thousands of happy customers who can attest to the quality of our handcrafted concrete products, which is why we stand behind our products with an UNCONDITIONAL LIFETIME GUARANTEE!
