Item 11217 — Artist: Ben Balzer

Overview

This Jatoba bowl tells the full story of the tree it came from. A natural band of sapwood traces the upper rim, offering a pale, creamy contrast against the wood’s signature deep orange-red heartwood beneath. It is the bowl’s beauty mark — a quiet, organic accent that makes this piece instantly recognizable and entirely its own. Bold in color, refined in form, and unmistakably one of a kind.
