Tree Root & Epoxy Platter with Titanic Coal Pigment
A hand-turned tree root and deep blue epoxy platter with a calm, water-like surface and a sculptural sense of motion. The epoxy is tinted with Atomic Finishes Titanic mica pigment, which incorporates coal recovered from the RMS Titanic, lending the blue a subtle shimmer, depth, and a moody range of ocean tones.
The Titanic’s story is more than maritime history. It is a cultural marker of ambition, engineering, and vulnerability, and the loss of life in 1912 still echoes through how we talk about progress and consequence. This platter carries that resonance in a small, tangible way. Not as spectacle, but as a quiet material connection to a ship that remains one of the most recognized symbols of the modern era. The coal-derived pigment reads like deep water and distant light, reinforcing the piece’s sense of drift, current, and time.
Natural fractures and live contours of the tree root are preserved, with fine micro-bubbles intentionally held in the resin to enhance the illusion of movement rather than a perfectly glass-clear surface. Fully functional, and equally striking as a centerpiece or statement platter.
Dimensions: 12 in diameter, 2 in H
