Gold Twist Kiddush Cup by Michael Aram

6"H, 2.75" Dia; Goldtone, Stainless Steel Each Michael Aram metal object undergoes a series of grinding, buffing and polishing techniques. Variations or 'imperfections' in the product's finish are characteristic of the creation process. Due to this handmade nature, no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Goldtone, Stainless Steel Not dishwasher safe As with all metals, never place in microwave oven Hand wash with gentle detergent, dry immediately with soft cloth Avoid any detergent with lemon or other acidic agents Do not soak, even in plain water, or leave unwashed overnight Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or scouring pads that can scratch and dull metal surfaces The Twist collection is inspired by the idea that the whole can be far greater than the sum of it's parts. When elements are combined, they take on another feeling, a greatness. Together, they are strong, but also I would argue, more beautiful. When lines are repeated, or wires woven, there is a loveliness to the pattern that fascinates and pleases. A symmetry is created that is calming and classical. "I often explore materials and create collections which are craft based. Twist was created while experimenting with intertwining wires. There is a fluidity and movement to the twists that I love. The twisted wires suggest a coming together of things that I find poetic."
