    Volver

    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 ...

    Friendly,

    That is a beautiful piece Lionel. Really a unique and different form.

    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?

    Lionel - this is really cool! Makes you stop and think for a bit! Great form and the folded lip idea is one I have not seen before! Thanks for sharing!
