Capricio Winding Gold Crystal Bowl
Graceful rather than symmetrical, the Capricio Winding Gold Crystal Bowl is defined by a continuous flowing rim that rises and falls in a natural rhythm around its circumference. The soft undulating silhouette creates the impression of movement, transforming a functional serving bowl into an elegant centrepiece.
A broad crystal surface appears to float above a richly sculpted pedestal finished in gold. This visual separation gives the piece an unexpected lightness while emphasising the contrast between transparent crystal and textured metallic decoration.
The bowl comfortably accommodates fruit, pastries, decorative arrangements or seasonal displays, yet its expressive form allows it to remain equally compelling when left empty. Every curve has been designed to contribute to the overall composition rather than follow a conventional circular profile.
Light interacts differently with every section of the crystal, highlighting the varying height of the rim and the subtle distortions created by the handcrafted shaping process. The gold-finished base anchors the composition and introduces warmth without overwhelming the transparency of the crystal.
The Capricio crystal collection extends beyond decorative bowls to include flutes, tumblers, goblets, wine glasses, whiskey glasses, bottles, trays, coffee sets, candleholders, vases and vanity sets, allowing complete table and interior compositions built around the same design language.
The Winding Bowl combines an organically flowing crystal rim with a sculptural gold-finished pedestal, creating a centrepiece that feels equally suited to contemporary interiors and formal dining settings. Within the Capricio crystal collection, it pairs naturally with flutes, tumblers, goblets, wine glasses, whiskey glasses, bottles, trays, coffee sets, candleholders, vases and vanity sets, creating a coordinated luxury presentation.
THE ARTISTRY OF MATERIALS
Crystal gives the bowl exceptional visual lightness while allowing its flowing contours to remain crisp and luminous. The transparent surface captures reflections from every angle, emphasising the handcrafted movement of the undulating rim.
Зure 24K gold enriches the sculptural pedestal with a warm metallic character that contrasts elegantly against the clear crystal above. Applied by hand, the finish accentuates the textured relief and reinforces the artistic identity of the design.
EXCLUSIVITY & HERITAGE
Every piece selected for the G.P.Grant Crystal Selection is chosen for its ability to combine artistic expression with exceptional craftsmanship. The Winding Bowl represents this philosophy through its sculptural composition, refined proportions and lasting decorative appeal.
Created by Griffe Montenapoleone – Vetrerie di Empoli, this handmade Italian crystal bowl reflects generations of artisanal expertise dedicated to preserving traditional crystal craftsmanship while embracing contemporary design. It may bear the original producer's maker's mark as confirmation of its manufacturing origin.
