Marble-spun Yin Candle Plates (set of 2)

Elegantly handcrafted from a combination of stainless steel and marble, this set of candle plates has been carefully marble spun by artisans. Its distinctive yin-yang inspired design is sure to add visual warmth to any living space. The process of spinning or turning is used to create axially symmetrical parts by rotating discs or tubes at high speeds.

A marble block is mounted on a lathe and a metal workpiece is mounted on the opposite side. The block & workpiece are spun against each other by applying force using a handheld tool called a spoon to give the workpiece the desired shape. Sometimes the work piece is heated to give a more complex shape. The technique is used to create cookware, decoratives, architectural parts, bells etc.
