Angle Bowl
Amazonas rosewood
2.5" x 5.33" 6.35cm x 13.5cm

Precisely carved on the lathe with offset patterns of concentric circles that create mesmerizing optical illusions of movement and depth. This bowl presents a fascinating variation on Hans Weissflog's signature style: "On this piece I wanted to turn out of center, but on the inside!"

Weissflog exhibits and teaches internationally, and his work is in many private and museum collections.
