Spin the Set



These vessels and related trays are directly inspired by spinning tops in both form and function.
The traditional spinning top design of the Dredel was the starting point for this project. This top is used to play gambling games at Hanukkah, this aspect of play led me to make a set of pieces which could be used to enjoyably prolong a coffee meeting between friends after the conversation has dried up, simply by those gathered playing with the table ware.










All pieces are Chrome plated copper.
