Made entirely by hand, one piece at a time, using the ancient art of sand casting, molten high-quality aluminum alloy is poured into individual sand molds and then hand polished to achieve the distinctive depth of character and warmth of personality that is characteristic of the Beatriz Ball line of aluminum serveware.

The Organic Pearl Orlando Ice Bucket-Vase is a prime example of this artistry.  It is a substantial and beautifully proportioned piece, standing about 8 inches tall, about 9 inches in diameter at the top and 4 and one-half inches in diameter at the bottom.

Of heirloom quality, Beatriz Ball handmade metalware will not tarnish or lose its lustrous shine.  It is also very practical serveware which can be used to heat (up to 350 degrees on your stove top, but heating in the oven is not recommended), chill and safely serve food with confidence.  Acidic foods will not damage or discolor the product. However, it is best to not store food or leave the item standing in water for long periods of time.  Hand wash (no dishwasher) and dry immediately so minerals which may be dissolved in your water are not left as spots on the highly polished surface.

Objects of Desire Artful Living has a complete line of e-cloth cleaning products which will keep your Beatriz Ball aluminum serveware looking sparkling clean, and remove over 99% of surface bacteria using only water mist.  No harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners needed.
