Handmade brass tray with casting double bird design. Collaborating with a Japanese ceramic artist, Castin', a company formed under Takatsuji, is a project meant to bring together traditional metal smithing techniques with contemporary design. Use this tray as in the office, for jewelry or center piece for an altar. Or simply as it is! A beautiful, heirloom worthy, piece of art.
The surface was blackened using traditional oxidation techniques.
Approximately 5" wide x .25" tall
When Takatsuji Manufacturing felt the need to reinvent they asked themselves, "What is possible with casting?" and "How does metal casting fit into modern life?" CASTIN' was the answer.
