Nambe 6-Inch Tri-Corner Olive Bowl

Since Nambé's inception in the mid-20th century, certain products have consistently maintained their appeal year after year. Among these are the Tri-Corner Bowls, which embody Nambé's guiding principles of design: functional objects for the home of the highest aesthetics. Notably, this bowl was designed by a sculptor, Richard K. Thomas.

The Tri-Corner bowl is one of Nambé's earliest classics, designed by sculptor Richard K. Thomas, who also created the iconic Butterfly bowl. This piece is both a work of art and a functional bowl, with its sides sweeping up to three rounded points, connected by a gently dipping rim. Quite deep and available in a variety of diameters ranging from six to eleven inches (including a 16-inch, 10-quart Grande version for true admirers), the bowl looks stunning whether adorning a display shelf or serving a chilled salad or hot pasta dish at the table.

Made of a metal alloy that retains heat and cold exceptionally well and won't crack, chip, or tarnish, the bowl is safe for use in the oven and freezer, but not the microwave or dishwasher. Washing by hand will preserve the bright mirror finish. Nambé was founded in 1951 in a village of the same name in scenic northern New Mexico, and from the beginning, the company focused on hand-producing high-quality, functional metal items such as bowls and trays with great attention to timeless, modern design.

Still made in the USA, Nambé's signature metal alloy is liquefied, poured into a hand-made sand cast, and the resulting piece repeatedly polished and smoothed by hand. Exceptional gifts for the most special of occasions, Nambé metal bowls and accessories are now joined by porcelain and crystal pieces, each flawlessly crafted. Nambé ware has won numerous design awards, has been shown in or recognized by nearly two dozen museums worldwide, and is part of the permanent collections of many, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The curvature of the Tri-Corner Bowl culminates in three rim points, while the subtle base creates a sense of perfect balance, making it a beautiful classic. This piece continues to enchant as both a work of art and a serving piece. The Tri-Corner Bowl is both freezer and oven safe, making it useful from the kitchen to the dining room table, where it can be used to serve a beautiful salad in a perfectly chilled or an entire entrée presented at the perfect temperature.
