Know before you buy
Because of the delicate pinched coil construction and glaze, this bowl must be hand-washed. It is not dishwasher safe, so we recommend using mild soap and a soft cloth to preserve the finish.
No, this piece is not microwave, oven, or freezer safe. It is designed primarily as a decorative serving piece for fruit or dry goods.
Since each bowl is hand-built using the 'Clay-play' technique, there will be subtle variations in shape and texture. You can expect your piece to be one-of-a-kind, reflecting the unique character of the artist's process.
The bowl measures 7 inches tall with a 10-inch diameter. Its irregular shape and cut-out design make it a substantial centerpiece for a kitchen island or dining table.
No, this bowl is not stackable. Due to its irregular, hand-built shape and textured coil construction, it is best displayed as a standalone piece.
