Know before you buy
Yes, this bowl is both microwave and dishwasher safe. Its durable ceramic construction is designed to withstand daily use while maintaining its artisanal finish.
The bowl measures 12.75 inches in length, 11.75 inches in width, and stands 5.5 inches high. Its deep, oval shape makes it ideal for serving large salads, pasta, or side dishes.
Each bowl is hand-painted by Maestro Gianluca Fabbro in Veneto, Italy. He uses a specialized sponging technique on terra bianca clay to create the distinct sea and sand color blending that defines the Tartaruga collection.
Because each piece is individually hand-painted, there may be slight variations in the color application and pattern. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that every bowl is unique.
The bowl is crafted from durable ceramic, giving it a substantial, high-quality feel on the table. While it is designed for everyday use, it retains the refined, artistic weight expected of authentic Italian pottery.
