Description: | This dish is 'double skinned', comprising a top bevelled surface and an underside. The upper section of this dish was produced using a technique known as 'electroforming', which allows the shape to be made first in wax. This enables the maker to translate his inspiration for the piece - fluidity and repetition in nature, into the permanence of a material such as metal with greater ease. The upper and lower section are soldered together, the surface has a fine silver coating.
