Overview
Bring the brilliance of the night sky into your outdoor environment with the Stellar Artisan Fire Bowl with Liberty Hollow Base from the Ohio Flame Artisan Collection.
Inspired by the radiance of stars and celestial objects illuminating the darkness, the Stellar transforms substantial American steel into a dramatic outdoor sculpture designed to become even more expressive after sunset.
Its distinctive sculptural form interacts with the fire within, allowing moving flame and glowing light to become part of the composition.
Designed and crafted by Ohio artisan Matt Skillman, this redesigned Stellar pairs its celestial-inspired bowl with Ohio Flame's Liberty Hollow Base. The open architectural foundation introduces negative space beneath the bowl, visually elevating the fire feature and reinforcing its sculptural character.
Each Stellar is handcrafted to order from American carbon steel sourced from local mills and is available in 30", 37", and 41" diameters.
The largest measures 41" in diameter x 26" high, incorporates a dramatic 20.5" bowl depth, uses .203" thick steel, and weighs approximately 224 pounds.
With no moving parts to break or wear out, the Stellar relies on substantial steel and straightforward construction. Its Natural Patina Finish gradually darkens and evolves outdoors, giving each piece increasingly individual character.
Proudly 100% American made, artisan crafted, and backed by Ohio Flame's Lifetime Warranty, the Stellar turns an outdoor fire into something more.
It's the brilliance of the night sky interpreted through American steel and flame.

Why This Product Stands Out
The Stellar is designed around one of the most powerful visual contrasts in nature:
Light against darkness.
Its inspiration comes from the brilliant celestial objects that transform the night sky from empty darkness into something extraordinary.
The Stellar brings that idea to the outdoor landscape.
During daylight, the substantial steel construction gives it the presence of handcrafted outdoor sculpture.
After sunset, fire changes everything.
Flame illuminates the sculptural form, producing movement, light, and shadow that continuously change as the fire burns.
The Liberty Hollow Base adds another architectural dimension. Its open construction introduces negative space beneath the substantial bowl, allowing the surrounding landscape to remain visually connected through portions of the base.
The result is an outdoor fire feature designed not simply to contain flame, but to use flame as part of the sculpture itself.

Which Size Is Right for Your Space?
30" Stellar — Sculptural Light at a Versatile Scale
At 30" in diameter x 20" high, the smallest Stellar brings the collection's celestial character to moderately scaled patios and conversation areas. It features a 15" bowl depth, .148" steel construction, and approximately 80-pound weight.
37" Stellar — Dramatic Mid-Size Presence
The 37" Stellar measures 23.5" high with an 18.5" bowl depth. Constructed from .185" steel and weighing approximately 109 pounds, it creates significantly greater visual presence while remaining considerably lighter than the largest model.

Inspired by the Brilliance of the Night Sky
Stellar and Lunar may both look toward the heavens for inspiration, but they tell very different stories.
The Lunar draws from the changing silhouette of the Moon.
The Stellar draws from radiance.
Its inspiration comes from stars and other celestial objects that appear as points of brilliance against the darkness.
That makes light particularly important to the Stellar's character.
During the day, its form is defined by steel.
At night, it's defined by steel and illumination together.
Fire Brings the Stellar to Life
The Stellar is designed to become more visually expressive after sunset.
As flames move within the bowl, light interacts with the sculptural steel form, creating changing areas of brightness, darkness, and shadow.
The appearance isn't static.
It changes with the fire.
That dynamic quality allows the Stellar to serve two roles within a thoughtfully designed landscape:
Outdoor sculpture by day. Illuminated fire sculpture by night.
The Architectural Character of the Hollow Base
The Liberty Hollow Base reinforces the Stellar's contemporary character.
Its open construction creates negative space beneath the bowl rather than presenting a completely solid foundation.
That visual openness helps balance the substantial steel above it.
The result is a fire feature that feels grounded enough to have genuine presence while remaining visually open enough to complement modern architecture and sophisticated landscape design.
Natural Patina That Evolves
The Stellar's Natural Patina Finish is intended to change.
As the American carbon steel encounters the outdoor environment, an iron oxide patina develops and gradually darkens its appearance.
Natural variation becomes part of the character of the piece.
Rather than requiring the sculpture to remain factory-new in appearance, the finish allows time and environment to contribute to its identity.
Substantial American Steel
The Stellar's artistic character is supported by serious steel construction.
Each size uses American carbon steel sourced from local mills:
- 30" — .148" steel / approximately 80 lbs.
- 37" — .185" steel / approximately 109 lbs.
- 41" — .203" steel / approximately 224 lbs.
The dramatic jump to approximately 224 pounds in the 41" model gives the largest Stellar particularly substantial landscape presence.
Integrated Rain Drain
An integrated Rain Drain allows water to escape rather than collecting inside the deep fire bowl.
Ohio Flame also includes a 4" Round Blocking Plate with Standard Length Centering Tee, allowing the drain opening to be closed when desired and helping prevent ash from falling through it.
Stellar vs. Lunar
Both are celestial-inspired members of the Ohio Flame Artisan Collection, but their design stories should not be confused.
Stellar — Radiance & Illumination
Inspired by brilliant celestial objects and the way they illuminate the night. The Stellar's personality becomes especially powerful after dark as fire interacts with its sculptural form.
Lunar — Eclipse & Shadow
Inspired by the waning profile of the Moon. The Lunar emphasizes asymmetric form, eclipse, negative space, and the relationship between light and shadow.
Choose the Stellar when you want the design story centered around radiance and illumination.
Choose the Lunar when you're drawn to the more mysterious visual language of the Moon, eclipse, and shadow.
Stellar vs. Fire Flower
The distinction is even greater when compared with the Fire Flower.
Stellar — Celestial & Radiant
Inspired by the brilliance of the night sky.
Fire Flower — Botanical & Organic
Inspired by the graceful form of a blooming flower.
Choose Stellar for a contemporary celestial statement.
Choose Fire Flower when the surrounding landscape calls for a stronger connection to botanical and organic forms.
Who This Is For
The Stellar with Liberty Hollow Base is designed for homeowners, landscape designers, architects, and outdoor-living enthusiasts who want fire to contribute to the artistic identity of the property.
It's particularly well suited for:
- Luxury patios
- Contemporary landscapes
- Architect-designed outdoor environments
- Poolside entertaining areas
- Modern courtyards
- Outdoor living rooms
- Vacation and second homes
- Custom landscape projects
- Distinctive backyard retreats
- Buyers prioritizing American-made products
- Customers who appreciate artisan metalwork
- Spaces designed for dramatic nighttime entertaining
For buyers seeking celestial inspiration, American craftsmanship, substantial steel, and a fire feature designed to become particularly dramatic after dark, the Stellar offers a compelling alternative to the conventional fire pit.
Care & Ownership
The Natural Patina Finish is designed to evolve, so changes in color and surface appearance should be expected.
Periodically remove excess ash and debris and keep the Rain Drain clear whenever drainage is desired.
Always allow the steel, fire, and ashes to cool completely before cleaning or handling the blocking plate.
Because the largest model weighs approximately 224 pounds, determine the intended placement and appropriate supporting surface before installation whenever practical.
Follow Ohio Flame's complete care, installation, clearance, and operating instructions.
Important Safety Information
The Stellar is an outdoor wood-burning fire feature.
Always:
- Use outdoors in an appropriately open location.
- Position on a stable, suitable non-combustible surface.
- Maintain appropriate clearances from structures, furniture, vegetation, and combustible materials.
- Follow applicable local fire and outdoor-burning regulations.
- Never leave an active fire unattended.
- Keep children and pets appropriately supervised.
- Remember that the steel can become extremely hot.
- Never attempt to reposition the Stellar while operating or hot.
- Allow the fire, steel, and ashes to cool completely before cleaning.
