The Innovation

One structural
feature. Infinite
possibilities.

The Fountain Edge is a radially extending horizontal platform formed integrally into the vessel wall — not an accessory, not an add-on. It creates a secondary containment zone that simultaneously supports toppings, captures melt, rests utensils, and elevates presentation to an art form.

01

Fountain Edge Platform

A wide, flat structural ring forming part of the vessel wall — the core invention.

02

Multi-Zone Architecture

Upper containment area and lower vessel body separated by the Fountain Edge.

03

Drip Management System

Captures melt and overflow at the perimeter before it reaches the exterior.

04

Topping & Garnish Support

Flat, stable surface for fruits, sauces, wafers and decorative elements.

05

Utensil Placement Zone

Purpose-built spoon rest integrated into the vessel profile.
