Know before you buy
No, this bowl is intended for decorative use only and is not food safe. It is designed to serve as an elegant accent piece or a catchall for small items.
Because of the delicate hand-etched details and mixed metal finish, this bowl is not dishwasher safe. We recommend wiping it gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and maintain its luster.
The bowl measures 6.5 inches wide, 5.5 inches deep, and 3.75 inches high, with a capacity of 13 ounces. It is perfectly sized to hold small items like keys, jewelry, or decorative stones.
Each bowl is handmade and features hand-textured finishes on both the stainless steel and the natural and oxidized brass accents. Due to this artisanal process, you should expect slight variations in texture and tone, which makes every piece unique.
While the bowl is crafted from durable stainless steel and brass, it is best to avoid placing it in areas with excessive moisture or direct water contact to preserve the integrity of the oxidized brass finish.
