Resting on a small footprint, the metal Lava bowl swoops up in two directions, uniformly thick and exuding a pleasing heft. Placed on an appropriate piece of furniture, such as a dining room sideboard or executive suite credenza, the bowl, available in a 15- or 22-inch length, makes a very striking artistic statement. At the table, the centerpiece-quality bowl may be used to serve salad, a selection of breads, or a mound of steaming hot risotto. The metal exhibits excellent heat and cold retention properties, and is safe for chilling in a freezer or warming in an oven before use.

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
