Brass plate | Ø 203 mm

Handmade brass plate / bowl by Japanese metalworker Lue Brass. He makes it by hammering a cut brass sheet and rounding the sides so the plate can hold small sweets and other snacks. A perfect gift for design lovers.

Over time, the brass undergoes a colour change due to natural oxidation processes and develops a charming light brown patina, followed by rust tones. The original shine can be maintained by using a polishing cloth. Each piece has unique markings, such as small size differences, scratches or hammer marks.

Ruka (Lue) Kikuchi, the craftsman behind the Lue Brass brand has been making brass products such as cutlery and bowls in modernist designs since 2000 in Setouchi City, Okayama (Japan). Since then, he has become extremely well known in the design-loving scene beyond his country's borders. Brass is his preferred material and the products are always handmade. Lue's aim is for his products to last a lifetime and give pleasure.

Although he makes all his work by hand, Ruka has recently started to take up the production of industrial metalwork, i.e. cutlery made with the help of workshop machinery.
