#26 - Set of Seven Small Charred and Polished Oak Vessels

Whilst our Annulus vessel doesn’t reference a specific ancient form it does have elements of historic vessels but reinvented in a contemporary context. The lower half of the vessel echoes the base of a magnificent Roman bowl we discovered whereas the top half of the vessel is a more open echo of the lower halves curves. We choose the name ‘Annulus’ due to the form having a ring-like band around the vessel, similar to certain planetary forms. Whilst quite a challenging form to turn we have fallen in love with its distinguished and complex curves.

A revisit to the charred surfaces we have produced as a studio over the years but with a more refined approach to the surface treatment. The grain has been meticulously cleaned out after charring the surface before sanding and polishing with a very fine grit and treating with Danish oil and buffing with wax.
