Orrefors Amour Bowl Set

Description

The heart as a symbol of love never goes out of style. This set of two heart-shaped bowls, one measuring 5-1/2 inches across and the other 4 inches, makes a heart-felt gift for any special occasion, particularly Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. Crafted in Sweden of lead-free crystal, the dense, heavy bowls sparkle luxuriously as they hold nuts or candies on a coffee table, or rings and trinkets on a dresser. The pair arrives in a handsome Orrefors gift box. Swedish artist Lars Hellsten is known for his weighty, contemporary crystal bowls, with such collections as Orion and Corona in addition to Amour. A palm-sized candle votive is also part of the Amour collection. Typifying the close collaboration between the designer and master glassmaker, Orrefors glass is among the most prized in the world, and each piece should be carefully washed by hand. --Ann Bieri
