In the second half of the last century, designers took this humble object seriously, giving it the same attention as a small sculpture, because it was something people touched every single day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis brass dish is a fine example. Its shallow round surface is worked in low relief with an abstract seascape: long, sweeping lines rolling across the dish like waves, with a half-disc of sun rising, or setting, at the horizon. In one corner sits a small circular emblem enclosing a cross. Low relief, in which the design is raised only slightly from the surface, depends on light falling across it. As the light moves through the day, the waves seem to shift and the sun to glow. The warm brass gives the whole scene a sunlit tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dish reaches us in good overall condition, with a natural patina and small surface marks from years of use. It is the kind of object that becomes part of a daily ritual, and it is ready to begin a new one. It belongs on a hall table for keys, or on a nightstand or dressing table for rings and watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a vintage brass vide-poche dish with a modernist wave-and-sun relief and a small cross emblem, 14 cm in diameter. It is exactly as pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e DETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: Diameter 14 cm (5.5 in).
