Luis Martinez Gallardo uses aluminum to cultivate the luscious contours of ripe grapes. The art of pewter originates in Belgium, but Mexican artisans have developed similar designs exploiting aluminum's beauty and strength. Once the liquid alloy is poured into a mold of compacted sand it hardens in 5 or 10 minutes, before being filed and polished to remove imperfections. This textured platter is ideal for serving fruit in any tasteful setting. Says Martinez, �It is a challenge for me to transform the designs we create into functional and decorative products. The items we elaborate are made with the highest standards of quality.� As each piece is crafted individually, there may be slight variations in the final design.
