Eroded Copper Bowl

The bowl has been spun from copper. Using the highly skilled technique of freehand flame piercing, Claire Malet created three-dimensional patterns and textures that mimic the fragility of nature. Employing the decorative technique of gilding, Claire applied a very thin coating of Fairmined and white gold to the bowl's surface. As a final touch, the copper bowl was oxidised and waxed.

● Type: Bowl

Claire Malet’s unique sculptural pieces reflect the natural landscape that inspires them. Based on the classic bowl form, the Eroded Copper Bowl is created to express the innate natural beauty of the copper and gold materials, bringing out and enhancing their different characteristics.
