We have 3 objects that Marie Zimmermann has been involved with.

Here we have a wide, deep blue-painted copper bowl. The blue color is slightly uneven giving the surface texture and slightly green oxidation showing through. With splayed out sides, it sits on top of a circular foot. The sides are stout and similar to an opening flower and overall are symmetrical in shape. In the center, a U-shaped petal sits between two elongated, pointed petals of the same height. The other side has the same design.

This silver bowl is monchrome with a thin yet wide unpolished body sitting juxtaposed on shiny, intricately designed feet. The bottom part of the feet support the bowl flat, inwardly curling tendrils and attach to longer, decorative piece with curling tendril motif. The longer portion of the leg hugs the bowls body in a slender arc, and then transitions into intricate animal form. The top of the decorative leg is a realistic bird's neck and head that creates two gentle arcs where the leg meets the bowl's body. The swan-like neck tapers upward and in thickness, its open beak with realistic eye and simple feathers along the top and bottom. The top of the head has a feather stretching to a circular knob, nearly meeting the top edge of the bowl's body.
