Nambe MT0173 Alloy & Enamel Bowl — Organic Modern, 2009

Elegant sculptural bowl by Nambe, model MT0173, dated 2009. The piece showcases Nambe’s signature sand-cast metal alloy exterior with a smoothly contoured, asymmetrical form. Its interior features a lustrous pearlescent cream enamel with a subtle wave-textured design, creating a striking contrast between reflective metal and soft enamel tones. Both artistic and functional, this piece serves beautifully as a centerpiece, fruit bowl, or decorative accent.

Founded in 1951 near Nambé Pueblo, New Mexico, Nambe is celebrated for combining fine materials with timeless design. Their proprietary eight-metal alloy possesses the luster of silver and the strength of iron, engineered to resist chipping, peeling, and tarnishing. Each piece undergoes a multi-step casting and polishing process to achieve its distinctive mirror finish. The alloy retains both heat and cold, making it suitable for serving and display, though it is not intended for long-term food storage.
