How it is made
Toyama, Japan
Three hundred millimetres across and four and a half kilograms. The one object here that changes a room rather than a desk.
The exterior keeps its cast surface. The interior is hand-spun on a lathe, which takes most of a day and leaves a fine concentric grain you can feel but not quite see.
River sand fine enough to hold an edge is packed around a pattern, then the flask is split and the pattern withdrawn.
Brass is brought to a little over a thousand degrees and poured in one continuous movement. Hesitation shows in the finished surface.
The mould is destroyed to release a single casting. Each one is made from sand that has never held this shape before.
Only what must be worked is worked. The cast surface keeps the grain of the sand it was formed against.
Bowl and foot are cast separately, brazed, then hand-spun to finish.
Four hundred years of copper and brass casting, begun when seven founders were invited to settle the castle town in 1609.

A single cast channel that holds a stick upright and gathers what falls from it.

A blade with no edge, which is the point.
Paperweight
