Foliage Salad Serving Set

Combining metalwork and printmaking techniques, artist Michelle Kwiecien embellishes the brass heads of the Foliage Salad Servers with fern imagery to create utensils that blend utility and beauty in a unique style all her own. With a degree in sculpture and printmaking, this Philadelphia maker uses a photo-etching and finishing technique that elicits a feeling of nostalgia and antiquity, making the every-day serving of meals a special ritual. Thoughtful details are found throughout, from the delicately forged stainless handles pinned with steel, to the patinated, hand-hewn aesthetic of the brass.
