Oval Nesting Bowls, Personalized

These personalized nesting bowls are hand forged out of mild steel by Ruben Irons, Artist Blacksmith and finished with raw beeswax. Unique marks of character speak to both the ancient craft of blacksmithing and the nuances of the metal. For this reason, each bowl is slightly different, embracing wabi-sabi, the Japanese aesthetic that celebrates imperfection.

Bowls can stand on their own in various arrangements for a simple sculptural statement or they can hold your treasures. They have a flattened bottom to create a stable base and a level spot for a candle should you choose to use them as candle holders.

These are solid and will stand strong for generation after generation. Makes a wonderful iron anniversary gift (6th anniversary) or steel anniversary gift (11th anniversary), wedding gift or housewarming gift.

For your personalization, please select the number of characters that applies to your personalization, taking into account the TOTAL number of characters with all bowls combined. Spaces do not count as characters but everything else does. Enter your desired text into the corresponding fields.
