Beatriz Ball : Soho bowl
The roots of the Beatriz Ball Collection began in 1991, beginning hand-in-hand with skilled metalware artisans in the outskirts of Mexico City, many of whom are still with them at their foundry, jointly creating updated, innovative designs in a special lustrous alloy of many metals.
Beatriz Ball pieces are made entirely by hand, one at a time, using the ancient art of sand casting: pouring a premium quality alloy of molten aluminum into sand molds, then through four levels of polishing.
More than twelve different sets of hands are involved in the creation of each piece, and the result of this intensely handmade process is a piece with a depth of character, warmth and personality that communicates in a way that only a handmade piece can.
