Gifts from Gumps #5: Lamont Hammered Bowls
Hand-made in Thailand by Lamont, these award-winning bronze vessels are cast then hammered before gold leaf is applied to the interior. As delicate as the finest eggshell, these thin metal bowls can be used as votives or simply as a decorative vessels. A great gift for anyone who loves the beauty of old-world craftsmanship. Honored in 2007, the Lamont hammered bowls received an UNESCO Award for preserving traditional craftsmanship in a contemporary form.
