The idea comes from a crystal piece that I photographed at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris.
The piece is from Flavio Poli 1900-1984

Which worried me, this is the aspect soft collar collapsed, and immediately, I was wondering how we could do something this way with wood ...
Spalted beech 6 3/8 X 3 3/8 Danish oil
Friendly,
Lionel.

Lots of grinding and sanding to get the rim effect I suspect, but a fantastic piece.

Add in a handle and you have a pitcher.

Wow! I love this form. Is this a two axis turning or finished by hand?
