There's not many shapes that really show off the Danish shaping chops of J. Alan more than the Bent Brandy. With a low, broad waist, a playfully lifting heel, and a strong line underneath that propels the shape forward from its broad, masculine shank, it serves as testament to countless hours spent deconstructing and studying the works of Danish masters like Bo Nordh, Jess Chonowitsch, and the Ivarsson clan. This particular piece wears a dark finished sandblast, with tight rings hugging the bowl, blasted birdseye along the base and at the rim, plus a creamy caramel coloured horn mount.
