The thick walls and beveled top edge of the heart-shaped Love bowl give weighty expression to a familiar sentiment. Designed for Nambé’s metal line by Sean O’Hara, who also created the similarly shaped crystal Heart bowl, the Love bowl (available in a 6-1/2- or 9-inch width) serves double duty as an art piece for admiration on a coffee table or dresser, and as a functional dish for serving food at the table. The metal exhibits excellent heat and cold retention properties, and can be chilled in a freezer before serving whipped cream or fruit salad on a warm day, or piled high with risotto or vegetables and heated in an oven. The durable, gleaming metal will not crack, chip, or tarnish, but may not be used in a microwave or dishwasher. Washing by hand will preserve the beautiful luster of the piece.

Nambé was founded in 1951 in a village of the same name in scenic northern New Mexico. From the beginning, the company focused on hand-producing high-quality, functional metal items such as bowls and trays with great attention to timeless, modern design. Still made in the USA, Nambé’s signature metal alloy is liquefied, poured into a hand-made sand cast, and the resulting piece repeatedly polished and smoothed by hand. Exceptional gifts for the most special of occasions, Nambé metal bowls and accessories are now joined by porcelain and crystal pieces, each flawlessly crafted. Nambé ware has won numerous design awards, has been shown in or recognized by nearly two dozen museums worldwide, and is part of the permanent collections of many, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. –Ann Bieri
