Yes, the picture is crooked! I didn't realize when I snapped the picture that it was a "live shot" (using my iPhone)...my attempts to straighten it clearly failed. The plate has been picked up so I can't retake the photo.
This is a sushi styled form....gray on top of black with stringers and strips of glass adorning it. I hope the new owners are very happy with it....It was commissioned as a gift.
