The wide circular bowl, constructed from laminated segments, sits atop a bold urn-shaped column raised on a stepped circular plinth, giving the piece both presence and stability. The bowl and pedestal are ingeniously joined by a large hand-cut wooden screw, allowing the two elements to be separated for transport or maintenance — a traditional Northern European workshop technique rarely encountered in decorative furniture. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eThe interior retains its original thick black waterproof coating, historically applied to protect the timber from moisture and soil when housing plant pots.
