Part longboat, part nautilus—small, sculptural, and useful.
A vintage cast aluminium dish with upturned ends that terminate in tight scrolls. The shallow, boat-like bowl sits lightly on the surface; the handles curl into lyrical volutes so the whole thing reads like a miniature longship. Aluminium gives it a soft, silvery glow with honest workshop marks—equally good as a keys-and-coins catchall, a table centre for citrus, or left empty as a sculptural object.
