Celestial Collection Star No. 5

Description

The Celestial Collection Star No. 5

No. 5 of 6 bowls

This Limited Editions ‘Celestial’ Collection, is designed and created by Chris Danby; Blacksmith and founder of Coach House Forge.

Inspired by Astronomy and Physics, Chris’ design fuses his fascination with modern science and the industrial innovation of the Victorian era to produce these minimal pieces of homeware. Chris took the shape of the humble star, cut it out of sheet metal heating it multiple times to a very high heat.  He then uses one of his antique Victorian Fly-presses to persuade the metal to take on a new form, knowing that the deep bowl is harder to produce, Chris expects that each of the bowls would be exquisitely different from the last. 

This listing is for No. 5 of 6 star bowls created in this Celestial series; the fifth bowl is an abstract star bowl, the only bowl with 7-points. This one has three birthmarks where the  most prominent points connected during the birth of this star. The internal surface and a mixture of smooth and rough textures with lighter tinges of sea-greens. While the outside surface appears similar it has the additional and exciting flame residue near the base showing a marbling effect.
