Steve Crane Bird Bowl

aka. Luau Bird Bowl, Bird of Paradise Bowl, Hypnotic Chicken

The Bird of Paradise bown has been one of my favorite mugs for a long time now, and was one of my personal holy grails. I paid too much for it on eBay, but I don't mind one bit -- I'm thrilled to have it. It's gorgeous.

Steve Crane Bird Bowl

aka Luau Bird Bowl, Bird of Paradise Bowl, Hypnotic Chicken in 23 collections

This lovely bowl is a great example of the amazing designs of Gabe Florian. The bowl was designed by Florian for use in Steve Crane's restaurants, which include the Luau in Beverly Hills, and the chain of Kon-Tiki restaurants that were found in Sheratons. It is of the head of a bird, and is painted using a wide pallette of colors, blues, oranges, greens and reds. The birds eyes and beak are the prominent features, and the intense look on the bird's face has led some to call it the "Hypnotic Chicken" bowl. Like many of the Florian/Crane designs, the bowl is double walled, and is marked "Designed by Steve Crane Associates" underneath.
