Brutalist Bronze and Natural Amathyst, Quartz, and Citrine Crystal Bowl

About the Item

This 1970s-era Brutalist bronze bowl is both spectacular and unique. Measuring approximately 11" by 7", the bowl has a bronze wire basket with plenty of room for a mound of lemons, apples or whatever you wish. Three discreet bronze wire feet create a well-balanced piece. But the real story is along the rim: here, ten natural quartz crystals have ben set into the bronze. The metalwork looks molten, as if it has melted around the crystals. There are four clear quartz crystals, two rich citrines, and four amethyst crystals. All of the natural gems have their ponty terminals intact. It's an absolutely gorgeous showcase for these spectacular gems. This bowl looks to be the work of Brazilian artist Edilson Carvalhu, and part of his Rio Copa Collection. While I cannot find a maker's mark, his work was so distinctive and because he was not a superstar, it's doubtful there would be such an exact replica of his style. Bold and unique, this one-of-a-kind bowl brings the beauty and energy of natural rough crystals into your world and home. I believe the bowl and the gems themselves are of Brazilian origin.

  • Pair Folk Art Paintings on Wood Panel, 1980s, by Moses Tolliver "MoseT"
    Located in Southbury, CT
    My uncle Bob was a country lawyer in rural Alabama and Moses Tolliver was one of his friends and clients. The pair of original paintings you see here were given to my uncle by Mr. Tolliver in exchange for legal services in the 1980s. Both the human figure and the snake were painted on scrap wood paneling and each has an aluminum beer pull-tab on the back for hanging. The works have been framed so the pull tab is not visible; if you prefer, simply remove the frames and both pieces will be as created. The snake painting...
