Namb full-lead crystal is a relatively new addition to the Namb family of home dcor and tableware items that are both works of art and functional. Designed by Neil Cohen, the stunning Amore bowl echoes the dual-wing shape of the company's classic metal Butterfly bowl. Available in two sizes, 7-1/2 and 11 inches in length, the crystal bowl is quite deep and heavy, allowing it to be used as a vase, and is safe for serving food, such as a fresh fruit salad in a rainbow of hues. The Amore bowls are flawlessly crafted by skilled European glassblowers, and each should be washed by hand to preserve its brilliant clarity.
Namb was founded in 1951 in a village of the same name in scenic northern New Mexico. From the beginning, the company focused on hand-producing high-quality, functional items such as sand-cast metal bowls and trays with great attention to timeless, modern design. Porcelain dinnerware also now joins Namb, along with the crystal and metal lines, all of which make exceptional gifts for the most special of occasions. Namb 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. --Ann Bieri
