The piece features three graduated and scalloped tiers or shelves rising from an upwardly tapering hammered column. Each tier is crafted in the form of a stylized shell or blossom, with the surface hammered into radiating gadrooned petal-like edges spiraling outwards from the center.

The bronze throughout is finished with a hand-hammered planished finish having an attractive aged patina to the dark bronze in the style of an English garden water fountain. The versatile piece is well-suited for a variety of interiors as a graduated serving piece, center piece, or display stand. From an estate in San Francisco, CA.
