A revolutionary serving vessel with an integrated Fountain Edge — a structural platform that transforms how ice cream, coffee, and wine are presented, experienced, and enjoyed. Multi-zone design. World-class aesthetics. Commercial-grade innovation.
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.
A wide, flat structural ring forming part of the vessel wall — the core invention.
Upper containment area and lower vessel body separated by the Fountain Edge.
Captures melt and overflow at the perimeter before it reaches the exterior.
Flat, stable surface for fruits, sauces, wafers and decorative elements.
Purpose-built spoon rest integrated into the vessel profile.

The Fountain Edge adapts across categories — from gelato to specialty coffee to fine wine service — maintaining the same structural innovation in every format.
