Punch Bowl
Hand made punch bowl for the University Club in Denver
In 2013 I was commissioned to build a very large punch bowl for the University Club in Denver, Colorado. It has a diameter of 24 inches and is embellished with twelve different scenes of jesters engaged in different activities. Every part was painstakingly sculpted in bronze, applied to the bowl and silver plated to create a uniquely historic centerpiece.
