The brilliant striations of alabaster, cream, caramel, and amber flow around the bowl, giving a dynamic edge to an otherwise soft aesthetic. Each fold and wave in the shape of the bowl is indicative of the artisan's effort and care. This impressive bowl measures 34" diagonally, 29" in width, 25" in depth, and 12" in height. Weighing in at 81 pounds, this unique onyx bowl was cut from a solid onyx block originally weighing approximately 2,500 pounds. It makes a magnificent interior or exterior home decoration. Use it as a centerpiece or put it on display as a fine work of art.

This bowl would be perfect as a show-stopping decor piece for an impressive entryway art installation or can be entirely functional such as an over the top iced champagne bowl. This bowl will easily showcase 20 bottles of wine chilling on ice. Alternatively, it can be used as a fresh flower or faux flower vessel.

Lovely areas of translucency, veining in warm tans and browns, and a rough exposed edge of the mineral matrix from which each was cut. The neutral colors of Creams, caramels, and honey will easily blend into any decor but is absolutely stunning both alone or as a functional bowl.
