Centerpiece bowl carved from tuia root wood (radica di tuia) with a flame-like grain, dating to the 1970s–1980s, measuring 24.5 cm in diameter and 14 cm high, made in Italy and in very good used condition with minor signs of age.
Description from the seller
COPPA CENTROTAVOLA IN RADICA DI TUIA – VENA FIAMMATA DI GRANDE IMPATTO
Elegant centerpiece bowl in tuia burl, turned and characterized by an extraordinarily vibrant grain, with deep flame figures, natural eyes and the material movement typical of this precious wood.
Tuia is known for its compact fiber and intense decorative pattern, capable of creating warm, vibrant, three-dimensional surfaces. In this specimen the burl expresses all its chromatic richness, with hues ranging from honey amber to deep brown, enhanced by a polished finish that brings out light and depth.
The form is classic and harmonious: wide hemispherical basin with a slightly flared rim, supported by a solid central foot, well-balanced in proportion. The diameter of 24.5 cm and the height of 14 cm make it compact yet scenographic, perfect as a fruit stand or as a decorative element on a table, sideboard, or writing desk.
Condition: very good. It shows slight signs of time consistent with age and use, which do not compromise stability or aesthetic appeal. Solid structure, perfectly stable, intact surface with a beautiful natural patina.
A piece with strong visual presence, ideal for classical or contemporary environments where authentic material and artisan quality are sought.
