Know before you buy
Yes, this bowl is designed to hold fruit. However, because it is made of natural sisal fibers, it is best suited for dry produce like apples, oranges, or bananas rather than items that may leak juices.
To maintain the integrity of the hand-stitched beads and natural fibers, we recommend spot cleaning only. Use a soft, dry cloth or a gentle brush to remove dust from the crevices.
Because each bowl is individually handcrafted by artisans in Rwanda, slight variations in size, shape, and bead color are expected. These unique characteristics are part of the item's artisanal charm and ensure your piece is one-of-a-kind.
Yes, the handwoven sisal base provides a stable foundation for the bowl. It is durable enough to serve as a decorative centerpiece on a dining table or kitchen island.
The bowl measures 10 inches in diameter and stands 4 inches high. Please keep in mind that these measurements may vary slightly due to the handmade nature of the product.
