A sculptural wrought iron bowl formed as the articulated skeleton of a fish, its ribbed structure creating an open, linear vessel balanced on four rounded feet.
Hand-forged in character, the piece combines playful subject matter with a distinctly graphic, almost brutalist silhouette. Curving iron rods form the spine and ribs, while simple scroll details articulate the head and tail, giving the object a lively sense of movement even when empty.
Practical as a fruit bowl or centrepiece, yet equally successful as a purely sculptural object, it works well on a dining table, kitchen counter or console — the open construction allowing contents to remain visually light rather than bulky.
The dark patinated finish and visible forging marks lend the piece an honest, handmade quality, sitting comfortably among both rustic and modern interiors.
A charming example of functional ironwork elevated into decorative form.
