Full details

Its primary benefit is its artisanal, one-of-a-kind aesthetic, hand-hammered from brass. A potential caveat is that its irregular form, while intentional, may not suit minimalist decors. Key features include its solid brass construction, hand-beaten texture, versatile use as a vase or bowl, and luxurious gold finish.

FAQs

Is the Tom Dixon Bash Vessel truly handmade?

Yes, each Bash Vessel is meticulously hand-hammered and beaten from a single sheet of annealed brass, making every piece unique.

What is the primary material of the Bash Vessel?

The vessel is crafted from annealed brass with a gold finish.

Can I use the Bash Vessel for serving food?

While it can be used for serving, it is best suited for dry goods or fruits. Ensure it is thoroughly cleaned and dried if used for food.

How should I clean the gold finish?

Clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Use a mild, non-abrasive metal polish for brass or gold if needed, and always dry thoroughly.

Will the gold finish wear off?

With proper care, the gold finish is durable. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals to maintain its luster.

Are there different sizes or colors available?

This guide specifically covers the Large Gold variant. Availability of other sizes or colors may vary.

What does 'annealed brass' mean?

Annealed brass is brass that has been softened through a heating and cooling process, making it more pliable and easier to shape by hand-hammering.

Troubleshooting

Tarnishing or dulling of the finish.

Gently polish the brass with a soft cloth and a dedicated brass or gold metal polish. Ensure the vessel is completely dry after cleaning.

Uneven appearance or imperfections.

These are inherent characteristics of the hand-hammered process and contribute to the unique, artisanal nature of the product. They are not considered defects.

Water spots from use as a vase.

Wipe dry immediately after use. If spots persist, gently polish with a suitable metal polish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This vessel is compatible with a wide range of interior design styles, particularly modern, eclectic, and luxury aesthetics. It is suitable for holding dry goods, fruits, or as a vessel for cut flowers. Avoid prolonged contact with liquids if using as a vase to prevent water stains on the brass, or ensure thorough drying.

Care: To maintain the luster of the gold finish:

  2. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive metal polish specifically designed for brass or gold-plated items, following the polish manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
  4. Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots.
