Catherine Abel & David Revitt Huon Pine Bowl on Inlaid Base

This exquisite piece appears to be a Huon Pine bowl, likely crafted by Catherine Abel & David Revitt, presented on what looks like a decorative inlaid base or platter. The central bowl is turned from Huon Pine, a highly prized Australian timber known for its fine grain, durability, and rich golden-yellow color, which is clearly visible here. The bowl has a smooth, well-polished surface suggesting quality craftsmanship, with a subtle rim detail. It exhibits a natural wood grain pattern, characteristic of Huon Pine, adding depth and organic beauty. The bowl sits within a larger, circular base that features an intricate inlay design. This base is predominantly dark emerald green, possibly a type of marble or a resin designed to mimic marble, with distinct white or lighter green veining throughout, giving it a luxurious and sophisticated appearance. Radiating outwards from the central bowl are star-like or sunburst patterns created by inlaid sections. These sections are made from two different materials: one is a lighter golden-yellow, possibly a different type of wood contrasting with the Huon pine, or a lighter stain of the same wood; the other is a reddish-brown material, perhaps a darker wood like mahogany orJarrah, or a composite material designed to create this warm tone. The construction appears to be high quality, with precise cuts and a seamless fit between the inlaid elements and the base material. The overall condition looks very good, with no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant wear. The surfaces appear to be clean and well-maintained. The combination of the warm Huon Pine, the rich green veined material, and the contrasting inlaid woods suggests a piece of artistic and functional decor, possibly dating from the late 20th to early 21st century, given the contemporary aesthetic and use of an acclaimed timber like Huon Pine in artisan goods.', Item Category: 'Decorative Arts
