Pâte-de-Verre Bowls

When I set out to create these bowls, I wanted to highlight beauty, fragility and sustainability. They are wafer-thin – delicate but strong. Their colours reflect the natural world, with sea shades and earth tones. They are made from recycled materials and without the use of moulds. I sand-cast them, and gild them with 22ct gold leaf after firing.

There are four collections, in a variety of styles and sizes.

Gilded Bowls

These bowls are available in several colours and are gilded with 22ct gold.

Organic Bowls

This collection is inspired by organic shapes and textures found in the sea. The scattered gilding reflects patterns seen in rocks, fish and the surface of water dappled with sunlight.

Gossamer Bowls

These ungilded bowls are translucent, allowing light through as if they were made of silk. Their aqua shades evoke sunlit tropical waters.

Sea Urchins

This collection comprises works that are inspired by sea urchins. It includes bowls (some of which are gilded) and flat pieces that take inspiration from sand dollars – a type of urchin found around the world from Asia to the Caribbean.

The photos below show typical examples of the bowls. If you are interested in purchasing a bowl, please email me and I will send you photographs of the ones that I currently have available. Prices exclude postage and packing, which will be charged at cost.
