Fern Dish

Designed by Karl Kipp American
 Roycroft

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 745

Metalsmith Karl Kipp created this fern dish at Roycroft, an Arts and Crafts community in East Aurora, New York. Roycroft's founder, Elbert Hubbard, marketed a variety of books, furniture, leather goods, and metalwork inspired by the British Arts and Crafts Movement. Although the Littles did not own a fern dish just like this one, the room was furnished with several low bowls for holding arrangements of flowers and leaves, reflecting Wright’s belief in bringing nature into the home.
