Know before you buy
The dish is crafted from a combination of natural brass and black nickelplate. It is further detailed with genuine Tiger's Eye gemstones for a unique, organic accent.
While the piece is designed as a serving bowl, it is best suited for dry goods like fruit or wrapped candies. Due to the natural brass and nickelplate finishes, it is not recommended for acidic or wet foods that could tarnish the metal.
To preserve the luster, wipe the dish with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the delicate contrast between the natural brass and black nickelplate.
Standing 6.5 inches tall with a 6.75-inch diameter, this piece is compact enough to serve as a centerpiece without obstructing conversation. Its pedestal design adds height, making it a great focal point for smaller tables or sideboards.
Yes, because Tiger's Eye is a natural gemstone, you can expect slight variations in color and pattern. This ensures that every Michael Aram Thorn Compote Dish has a unique, one-of-a-kind character.
