The Dutch silversmith Carla Nuis (b. 1970), who designed and made this piece, transformed it into a fretwork pattern on a piece of silver sheet. This bowl is a fine example of the resurgence of interest in rich patterns on silver among contemporary silversmiths.","physicalDescription":"Square concave bowl, dipping in the centre and flaring upwards around the edges.  The entire surface is pierced with a succession of scrolls and curlicues within a series of interlinking, teardrop frames.  The pattern is derived from that found on 17th century, Italian Baroque velvets.  This bowl is one of a series.  Bowl #6 is similar except that the pierced pattern is in reverse to that of bowl #7; bowl #6 being the positive version while bowl #7 is the negative.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Nuis, Carla","id":"A13048"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"sterling silver","id":"AAT10977"}],"techniques":[{"text":"piercing","id":"AAT231153"},{"text":"raising","id":"AAT237068"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silver","categories":[{"text":"Metalwork","id":"THES48920"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2006BA1431","2006BA1432","2006BA1430"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"002","id":"THES412205"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Bowl","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Maastricht","id":"x32632"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"2000","earliest":"2000-01-01","latest":"2000-12-31"},"association":{"text":"designed","id":"x29338"},"note":""},{"date":{"text":"2000","earliest":"2000-01-01","latest":"2000-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"M.1-2007","id":"O1156760"},"association":"Set"}],"creditLine":"Purchased through the Yorke Radleigh Fund","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"25","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"25","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'925'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Stamped on the underside and in the top, far right hand corner, for the sterling standard, above CN (for Carla Nuis)"},{"content":"'C N'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Stamped on the underside and in the top, far right hand corner, makers mark for Carla Nuis"}],"objectHistory":"Artist's statement, March 1, 2003:\r\n\r\nThese (bowls) are fragile dishes in which I seek to combine age old crafts and classical forms in a new way, so as to freeze age old styles in traditional materials.  The \"bowls\" are inspired by 17th and 18th century, Baroque and Rococo designs in ornaments - such as on classical ceilings and buildings - and decorations - for example on velvet wallpaper and brocade.  These I repeat until an interesting pattern emerges.  I materialise these patterns by sawing parts from this silver sheet.  This implies choice.  It led to two dishes for each design:  one positive and one negative, that are each other's counterpart.  The dishes are each hand-sawed out of a 0.935 dz. silver plate, that was subsequently forged into shape.  They are 25x25x6 cm.  Each dish took over 100 hours of manual labour.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"'Bowl #7', square concave bowl, silver, designed and made by Carla Nuis, Maastricht, 2000","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"Reason For Production: Exhibition","productionType":{"text":"Unique","id":"THES48864"},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["M.45-2003"],"accessionNumberNum":"45","accessionNumberPrefix":"M","accessionYear":2003,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":["2019MJ0911"],"recordModificationDate":"2025-10-01","recordCreationDate":"2004-06-18","availableToBook":true}}
