What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Nambe Nara Chip and Dip set for its striking aesthetic and high quality. Reviewers frequently call this piece a showstopper, noting how the sculptural alloy base and acacia wood platter create an elegant presentation.

Know before you buy
Yes, the alloy dip bowl is designed to be heated or chilled to help maintain your dip's temperature. However, it is not oven-safe, so you should heat it gently using warm water or a low-temperature warming drawer rather than a conventional oven.
No, this set is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the finish of the acacia wood and the luster of the Nambe alloy, you must hand wash both pieces and dry them thoroughly.
The acacia wood chip bowl measures 13 inches in diameter, providing ample space for chips, crackers, or vegetables.
Yes, the two pieces are separate, allowing you to use the alloy dip bowl on its own or pair it with the wood bowl as intended for a cohesive serving presentation.
To maintain the wood's rich grain, hand wash it with mild soap and avoid soaking it in water. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil will help prevent the wood from drying out over time.
