Black Coral Sculptures

Coral, coral everywhere... but this coral is black -- much cooler than your average coral. Silver-plated bases add some extra glam.

Ocean Reef Bowl by Michele Oka Doner for Steuben

First to recommend

Description

This splendid bowl is copper-wheel engraved to suggest microscopic floating diatoms that abound in warm-water reefs. It nestles in a bronze base artfully formed by lost-wax casting, utilizing delicate branches of coral deposited on coastal beaches by the wash of the tides.

Copper-wheel engraving is an amazing process to watch. It's like painting on crystal, but with a stationary flywheel -- so the artist moves the crystal, rather than the 'brush.' This piece probably takes weeks to finish - maybe months.

Michele Oka Doner is an internationally acclaimed New York-based artist and designer whose work translates natural forms--plant fronds, berries, shells, and life observed beneath the lens of the microscope--into objects of extraordinary power and seduction rendered in bronze, precious metals and stones, concrete handmade papers, ceramic, and now, glass.
