Michael Aram Black IRIS nut bowl

Excellent pre owned condition showing no significant signs of use. 5.5″L X 4″W X 2.25″H, Bowl 3.75″ Dia., Stainless Steel, Natural & Oxidized Brass The Black Iris Collection is inspired by the vitality and beauty of the iris flower. Named after the Greek word for rainbow, the idea of a “black rainbow” feels oxymoronic and mysterious. Michael Aram uses contrasting oxidized and polished brass, as his way of doubting the question of whether there is such a thing as an iris which is truly black in nature. “I am fascinated with the beauty and mystery of black irises. They are symbolic of wisdom, courage, and admiration. Given as gifts, they convey deep sentiments.” Each Michael Aram metal object undergoes a series of grinding, buffing and polishing techniques. Variations or ‘imperfections’ in the product’s finish are characteristic of the creation process. Due to this handmade nature no two pieces are ever exactly alike.
