#38 - Bell Vessel in White Limed Oak

This vessel is our own tribute to Bell Beaker culture, around 4500 years ago and allegedly emanating from Iberia (modern day Spain) this style of beaker became prevalent across the European continent as well as eventually in Britain around 100 years later. It’s a fascinating history with a substantial variation in form and decorative finish to be found across the different archeological sites.

Height: 18cm
Diameter:19cm
Price: £720 GBP (inc VAT)
Origin: English Oak off cuts from Copford Sawmill
Finish: White Limed

The lightest finish we’ve produced as a studio, our white limed surface treatment involves lightly sanding and polishing the surface of raw Oak before rubbing in a white liming solution that beds into the open grain of the timber before buffing it back and sealing with a hard wax oil.
