Know before you buy
No, this piece is intended for decorative use only and is not food safe. It is best utilized as a centerpiece or a sculptural accent on a table or console.
Because of the unique wood-fired glaze and handcrafted nature of the ceramic, this bowl must be hand washed. It is not dishwasher safe, and you should avoid using harsh abrasives to preserve the tactile finish.
No, this bowl is not microwave safe. The ceramic construction and specific glazing process are not designed to withstand high heat or rapid temperature changes.
Each bowl is wheel-thrown and wood-fired in upstate New York, meaning there will be slight variations in the glaze texture and shape. These subtle differences are a hallmark of Danny Kaplan’s craftsmanship and ensure your piece is truly one-of-a-kind.
The 11-inch bowl is ideal for smaller coffee tables or sideboards, while the 14-inch version makes a significant statement as a dining table centerpiece. Consider the scale of your furniture to ensure the pedestal base has enough room to sit comfortably.
