Osanna Visconti

Dalia Bowl

Add to Wishlist

Like the candleholders in the Dalia collection, this piece begins with a real dahlia. Osanna Visconti selects the bloom herself and casts it in natural bronze through the lost-wax process at her trusted art foundry in Milan. The model is encased in clay and plaster, fired at 650°C until the wax melts away, and the void is filled with molten bronze before the casting is chiselled and polished by hand. Here the bronze flower becomes a base, cradling a small bowl of amber Murano glass, a material shaped in the furnaces of the Venetian lagoon for over seven centuries. Visconti trained as a jeweller in Rome and at the Gemological Institute of America in New York, and the pairing of warm metal and translucent glass recalls a stone in its setting. Intended for sauces and condiments, it sits naturally on a laid table alongside the Dalia candleholders and salt and pepper cellars.
