Unpublished. Berlin, Germany. Vessel; height 7 cm, width 25 cm, depth 15.5 cm, weight 333 g., A shallow round metal bowl with a smooth reflective interior and ornate flat handles extending from opposite sides, set on a flat gray surface; the bowl and handles appear silver in color with subtle darker and warmer metallic reflections, and the background is various shades of gray.
