500 Metal Vessels: Contemporary Explorations of Containment

By: Marthe Le Van

Juried by Fred Fenster, a distinguished presence in the field, "500 Metal Vessels" features page after page of superbly crafted bowls, teapots, vases, chalices, urns, and other exquisite handmade hollowware. Made from diverse metals and techniques (forging, raising, casting, forming, soldering, and welding), these eye-catching pieces also display gorgeous applied surface embellishments, from enamel to repousse. Explore Sarah Perkin's luminous enamel bowls; the monumental vessels, made by Kim Cridler out of unassuming steel rods; and the work of Tom Ferrero, whose fascination with architecture and Gothic forms inspired his meticulous surface designs.
