Know before you buy
No, this bowl is intended for decorative display only and is not food safe. It should not be used to hold fruit, snacks, or other edible items.
Because it is crafted from natural raffia, you can easily reshape the bowl by lightly misting it with water. Once damp, gently mold it back into your desired shape and allow it to air dry completely.
It is normal for natural fibers to have some variance. If you notice any stray fibers, you can simply trim them with a pair of scissors to maintain a clean, pristine look.
No, this bowl is not dishwasher safe. To clean, simply dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush.
Each bowl is artisan-crafted in Rwanda using traditional techniques, meaning there may be slight variations in shape and texture. These unique characteristics are part of the charm of a handmade item and ensure your piece is one-of-a-kind.
