Empty pocket bowl made of translucent natural stone.

Small bowl carved from a translucent natural stone, probably onyx or alabaster, with a freeform shape and a striking contrast between rough and polished finishes. The exterior retains the original mineral texture, while the interior is delicately hollowed and polished, revealing the milky and amber hues of the stone. Each face captures light differently, creating a semi-transparent effect typical of limestone and soft quartz. A piece that is both decorative and functional: a catch-all, a jewellery display, or an altar/incense bowl. Details.
