Know before you buy
No, this piece is intended for decorative display purposes only. It is not food-safe, and the raw, unpolished surface is not suitable for contact with edibles.
Because each vessel is individually hand-carved from natural Naxian marble, every piece is unique. You should expect variations in the stone's crystalline structure, earthy tones, and the specific asymmetrical shape.
To clean the vessel, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using water, soaps, or chemical cleaners, as the porous, unpolished marble can easily absorb liquids or become stained.
The finish is intentionally left unpolished to showcase the artisan's carving process. You will feel the texture of the stone and see the visible marks left by the tools used during its creation.
Yes, the subtle asymmetry is a deliberate design choice. The artisan shapes each vessel by eye, ensuring that no two pieces have the exact same silhouette or proportions.
