Centerpiece Bowl on Three-legged Stand
1993 |
| It took the metalsmith over 100,000 hammer blows to produce this handsome bowl, forged and shaped from a single disk of sterling silver. Inspired by architectural columns and the classical tripod form, Stroms_e fabricated and gold leafed a bold pedestal base that elevates the bowl to a celebratory and ceremonial state. |
