Know before you buy
Because this piece is crafted with traditional vegetable dyes and delicate block-printing, it is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing it gently with mild soap and a soft cloth to preserve the integrity of the Orione pattern.
No, this bowl is not suitable for microwave, oven, or freezer use. It is designed primarily as a decorative serving piece for cold or room-temperature items.
The barchetta, or boat-like shape, offers an elongated, irregular silhouette that creates a striking centerpiece on a dining table. Its unique form is ideal for serving breads, fruits, or salads while adding a sculptural element to your table setting.
Each bowl is individually handcrafted using hand-carved pearwood stamps, meaning there will be slight variations in the Orione pattern. These subtle imperfections are a hallmark of the traditional Italian block-printing process and make every piece one-of-a-kind.
Limoges porcelain is renowned for its high quality and durability. While the bowl is sturdy, the hand-applied vegetable dyes require careful handling to prevent fading or damage over time.
