The Story

The heaviest vessel in the archive, and the softest in colour. Grzegorz kept the shell's natural pink flush intact and shaped the silver to follow its curve, so the mount looks grown rather than added.

About This Work

The heaviest body in the archive, carved from shell with its natural pink flush preserved. The silver mount is shaped to follow the curve of the material so the collar reads as part of the form.
