Titanium bowl

This 16 cm bowl is made entirely of titanium, not an easy metal to work. Hand made and burnished to give this remarkable colour, it was made by Vladimir Frater.

He was born in Bohemia in 1934 and I bought it from him in March 1998.

It is numbered 23 and signed VLADIMIR Corfe Castle

It is not only Magpies that are attracted by shiny, pretty things.
