You’re looking at a potassium atom like you’ve never seen it before—perched proudly on a metal stand like it’s auditioning for a minimalist sci-fi movie. This sculptural form was once part of a mid-century medical or chemistry teaching set, likely German or French, designed to help students visualize atomic structure before everything went digital.
The spherical “atom” has a beautiful, timeworn texture—scratched, rubbed, and slightly pitted like it’s been through a few lab experiments (or maybe just a few decades of shelf life). It’s mounted on a simple steel rod rising from a weighty cast metal base, which features a small red K decal (symbol for potassium).
