Know before you buy
No, this bowl is not food-safe. It is designed primarily as a decorative piece or a catch-all for non-edible items.
Because the wood is sensitive to moisture, we recommend dry cleaning only. Simply wipe the bowl with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and maintain its natural finish.
No, this bowl is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Exposure to high heat or water will damage the natural Purpleheart wood and the integrity of the handcrafted design.
The bowl measures 35 cm in length and 7.5 cm (approximately 2.95 inches) in height. Due to its asymmetrical shape and handcrafted nature, slight variations may occur.
Yes, the bowl is crafted to be durable for regular use as a decorative object. However, handle it with care to preserve the sculpted details of the anteater heads.
