These Solid Bronze bowls are a great unique gift, that are hand forged one at a time; no two exactly the same. The unique hand forged process captures the individuality of each buyer. This bowl is perfect for an entry catchall, jewelry dish, centerpiece or office accent. These bowl's are great gifts for anniversaries, weddings, or any occasion.
Being non-magnetic these bowls are safe for your electronic devices. The bronze handmade feel lends them well to hold your special cherished keepsakes.
These particular bowls I make are hand forged from bronze in a process where they reach a temperature near 1450 degrees Fahrenheit. The bronze is then hand shaped, brushed, smoothed and waxed.
Hand stamped finishes are added in the beginning (if personalization is chosen).
Bowl Specifications: 5.5" diameter and approximately 1.25" deep at the deepest point, 1/8" thick and weighs approximately 1.2 lbs.
Materials: Solid Bronze
Custom Hand Stamp Personalization Options:
If no custom hand stamping is needed please select the option No Personalization (this is the base bowl price).
Customizing our bowl is always a pleasure. Please proof read your message, once the bowl is made, the wording is permanent and can not be changed. Each letter is individually hand struck with the option of message placement either on the inside or outside of the bowl.
If you selected the Personalization option please write your message in the provided "Order Notes" box shown after adding the item to your cart. Such personalizations include: a saying, name or names, date etc...
Care Instructions: Clean with warm water, towel dry, let sit till completely dry and apply a little wax to the bowl if necessary. Applying wax will slow down the patina (oxidation) process and protect your bowl. If a beautiful bronze patina is what you want to achieve then use the bowl as normal until it reaches the desired patina appearance, then apply a little wax to the bowl. I use Renaissance wax, but most polishing wax's will do. If you desire a bright non-patina bronze just polish the bowl once a month or as needed. Use a polish compatible with bronze as you would silver jewelry and apply wax to seal the finish. With most wax applications, a little wax goes a long ways.
