Carved from a beautiful piece of solid wood, likely olive or fruitwood, it takes on an organic and free-flowing silhouette. The exterior retains the marks of the adze, those slightly irregular facets that testify to entirely manual work and give it a raw and warm texture. This is a unique piece with primitive accents, perfect for a desk, console, or shelf, where you can let its story unfold.

The dish is made of solid wood. A living material, it features fine, non-penetrating cracks in the base. The dish is signed on the underside: Saint Tropez and the artisan's signature.
