{"product_id":"carol-boyes-pewter-corkscrew","title":"Carol Boyes Pewter Corkscrew","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"243\" data-end=\"456\"\u003eFew designers have done more to elevate the everyday than Carol Boyes. Her work takes the most familiar domestic objects and quietly persuades them to become sculpture, often with just a single expressive gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"458\" data-end=\"833\"\u003eThis corkscrew is a wonderful example. Cast in pewter, the elongated figure curves gracefully around the mechanism, transforming what could have been a purely functional object into something full of movement and personality. It sits comfortably in the hand, but just as happily on a bar cart or open shelf, where its sculptural silhouette can be appreciated between bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"835\" data-end=\"1118\"\u003eThere is a warmth to pewter that polished chrome or stainless steel rarely achieves. Softly lustrous rather than reflective, it develops a mellow patina with age that only enhances the tactile quality of the piece. The result is an object that invites use rather than discourages it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1120\" data-end=\"1380\"\u003eCollectible in its own right, Carol Boyes' designs have become increasingly sought after for their ability to blur the line between art and utility. This is precisely the sort of object that makes opening a bottle of wine feel ever so slightly more ceremonial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1382\" data-end=\"1489\"\u003eA beautifully considered piece of functional sculpture, equally suited to gifting or keeping close at hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"bpec4l\" data-start=\"1491\" data-end=\"1505\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1507\" data-end=\"1553\"\u003eHeight: 13 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1521\" data-end=\"1524\"\u003eWidth:  8 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1537\" data-end=\"1540\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1uef3h1\" data-start=\"1555\" data-end=\"1568\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1570\" data-end=\"1689\"\u003eExcellent vintage condition with a beautifully mellow pewter patina and light signs of age consistent with careful use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"2uu2d6\" data-start=\"1691\" data-end=\"1703\"\u003eDelivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1705\" data-end=\"1834\"\u003eQualifies as a smaller item.
