Not loud, not cartoonish — just a quiet, knowing absurdity that reveals itself the longer you look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"192\" data-end=\"513\"\u003eCast in aluminium, the dish is carried — quite literally — by a two stylised human figures, their limbs stretched into something between effort and elegance. They’re not straining, exactly. More as if this is simply what they do: hold things up, keep things moving, get on with it. There’s a gentle wit in that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"515\" data-end=\"794\"\u003eCarol Boyes had a knack for this sort of thing — taking the functional and slipping something human into it. Here, a simple serving dish becomes a small piece of theatre. Fruit, keys, whatever ends up in it feels almost incidental; the object itself is doing most of the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"796\" data-end=\"1013\"\u003eThe surface has that soft, slightly dulled sheen aluminium acquires over time. Not mirror-bright, but warmer, more forgiving. It sits comfortably on a table, catches the light just enough, and rewards a second glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1075\"\u003eUseful, certainly. But more to the point, it’s entertaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1075\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1082\" data-end=\"1093\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1093\" data-end=\"1096\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaker: Carol Boyes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1114\" data-end=\"1117\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial: Cast aluminium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1141\" data-end=\"1144\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength: 18 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1157\" data-end=\"1160\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDepth: 11 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1172\" data-end=\"1175\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight: 7 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1187\" data-end=\"1190\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: Good vintage condition with light surface wear and patina consistent with age\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1285\" data-end=\"1297\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1285\" data-end=\"1297\"\u003eDelivery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1428\"\u003eQualifies as a smaller item.
