Waterhouse wrote: 'This is a hand-raised bowl decorated with pure gold and varying alloys of Green and White Gold. The pattern has been applied using the Korean technique Keum Boo which involves fusing metals together using only heat and pressure. This has been done when the main body of the bowl is flat and with alloys of green and white gold created by myself.
When the decorative design has been applied the patterned disc has then been hand raised into shape. A simple base has then been soldered to the bottom of the bowl and the exposed areas of fine silver have then been oxidized using a sulphur solution. These oxidized areas of fine silver have then been waxed in order to even the oxidised colour and also to protect its effect.'
