This limited edition (20 pieces) piece of artwork incorporates Christofle Silver spoons. The design is the creation of Franco-Portuguese artisan Tony Grilo who continues his “From” themed collection which uses knives and forks as works of art.
By cleverly and seemingly effortlessly crafting together 30 silver-plated Christofle spoons, (look closely) Grilo has created a beautiful and useful bowl. The $3,750 price tag, of course, will ensure it only makes it into the hands of someone who can truly appreciate it.
