{"product_id":"tobacco-plum-saea-onyx-catchall-bowl","title":"Tobacco \u0026 plum | SAÉA Onyx Catchall Bowl","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the one that reads like furniture. Tobacco and caramel with plum running through it, so on a walnut dresser or a dark oak console it looks like it belongs to the wood rather than sitting on top of it. That is a harder trick than contrast, and it makes this the right piece for a bedroom with dark case goods, where a pale stone reads like it wandered in from another room. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne of one.

Pull the plum out once more somewhere in the room — dried stems, a book spine, a cushion — and the whole palette tightens around it. Set it near a lamp: onyx is translucent at this thickness, and the caramel warms from inside when the light comes in low from the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBands sweep across the interior in wide concentric rings, irregular enough to read closer to wood grain than to stripes. Plum and burgundy veins cut across them. Thin white quartz seams run through the body in bright lines — those are healed fractures, places where the stone broke underground and mineral water refilled the gap. The carver left the surface raw, so the tool travel stays visible. One of a kind. The exact piece you'll receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSTRATA · VEIN · WEIGHT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTRATA\u003c\/strong\u003e — Single-source Balochistan onyx, hand-carved, finished in San Diego.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVEIN\u003c\/strong\u003e — Tobacco and caramel banding in concentric rings, plum and burgundy veins across the interior, white quartz seams throughout, pale grey at the foot.
