Know before you buy
Yes, the bowl is food-safe and designed for serving. However, as it is made of stoneware, it is best to avoid extreme temperature shocks, such as moving it directly from a freezer to a hot oven.
To maintain the integrity of the reactive-glazed finish, we recommend hand washing with mild soap. While stoneware is generally durable, hand washing prevents potential chipping or fading that can occur in high-heat dishwashers.
The reactive-glazed crackle finish provides a unique, slightly textured feel that adds to the piece's artisanal character. While it has a distinctive aesthetic, the surface remains smooth enough for easy serving and cleaning.
The bowl measures 9 inches in diameter and 3.75 inches in height. It is sized perfectly for serving side dishes, salads, or fruit for a small to medium-sized group.
Because each piece is artisan-crafted in Portugal with a reactive glaze, slight variations in color and pattern are expected. These subtle differences are part of the bowl's charm and ensure that your piece is one-of-a-kind.
