Know before you buy
Because this bowl is crafted from natural wood, it is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing it with mild soap and warm water, then drying it immediately with a soft cloth to maintain the integrity of the wood.
No, this bowl is not microwave, oven, or freezer safe. It is designed specifically for serving salads, fruits, or room-temperature shared dishes.
To keep the wood looking its best, you should occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner. This helps prevent the wood from drying out and maintains the luster of the butterfly ginkgo detailing.
Yes, the bowl is designed with a stable base that accounts for its unique, irregular silhouette. It is perfectly balanced for serving on a dining table or kitchen island.
Not at all. The intricate detailing is primarily decorative and positioned to enhance the aesthetic of the piece without interfering with the bowl's capacity or your ability to toss and serve salad.
