About the Item

A beautifully cast brass rhubarb leaf dish by Virginia Metalcrafters, modeled with deep naturalistic veining, softly ruffled edges, and a warm aged surface. The sculptural form captures the irregularity of an actual leaf while retaining the substantial weight and refinement associated with Virginia Metalcrafters' decorative brasswork. At just 5.5 inches wide, it is an easy piece to live with: perfect on a bedside table for jewelry, on a desk for small necessities, or beside the front door for keys and coins. It would also look particularly good layered among books, ceramics, and botanical objects in an English Country library or garden room.
