Know before you buy
The bowl measures 11 inches in diameter and 6 inches in height. Its irregular, petal-like shape makes it best suited for serving dry items like bread, fruit, or salads rather than liquids or soups.
While the petals are textured, the bowl is dishwasher safe, which makes maintenance straightforward. We recommend placing it securely in the dishwasher to ensure the hand-painted details are protected during the cycle.
Yes, the bowl is crafted from durable terra bianco (white clay), which is heat-resistant. It is perfectly safe for serving warm dishes at the table.
The bowl is made from sturdy white clay, but like any ceramic piece with intricate, hand-painted details, it should be handled with care. Avoid stacking heavy items directly on top of the petals to maintain the integrity of the design.
The bowl is designed with a stable base despite its organic, irregular petal edges. It sits securely on flat surfaces, making it both a functional serving piece and a reliable decorative accent.
