The roots of the BEATRIZ BALL Collection began in 1991, when
Beatriz began working hand-in-hand with skillful metalware artisans
and designers in the outskirts of Mexico City, jointly creating updated,
innovative designs in a special lustrous alloy of many metals. Their
pieces are made entirely by hand, one at a time, using the ancient
art of sand casting, by pouring a premium quality alloy of molten aluminum
into sand molds, then going through four different levels of polishing.
More than twelve different sets of hands are involved in the creation
of each piece, and the result of this intensely handmade process is
a piece with a depth of character, warmth and personality that communicates
in a way that only a handmade piece can. Their hardworking metal reflects
the shine of silver, but requires no polishing, goes from refrigerator,
to oven, to table and is perfectly suited for today's casual lifestyles
but also can be displayed as a work of art.
