FREEFORM AGATE BOWL
Handcrafted in Idar-Oberstein, Germany
This freeform bowl of 'tortoise shell' patterned Agate has an organic shape with swirling patterns of black, orange and rich browns encased in a translucent, slightly milky Agate. The bowl was carved in the famed German carving center of Idar-Oberstein and was cut to maximize the rich patterns of the Agate. With an extremely high, mirror bright polish, this fine bowl measures 5 3/4 x 5 inches and is 1 1/2 high with small footed area. In excellent condition.
