THE HOOKED VASE









Since I have been working with pentagons it was inevitable that I would come up with a serendipitous design.






This model combines some of the features of my Coaster Bowl and its lids, some of the features Pentamontanas Flower and some of the features of one of Francis Ow's bowl. The hooked points are a novel feature that arose by accident and looked sufficiently interesting to preserve.







The model can be varied by folding the points and the top triangles hard against the base or by lifting them away from the walls.
