Know before you buy
No, due to the delicate 22-carat gold accents, this bowl should be hand-washed only to preserve the finish and prevent damage to the metallic detailing.
While the ceramic material is durable, it is primarily designed for serving cold punch or decorative use. We recommend avoiding extreme temperature shifts to protect the integrity of the high-fire cobalt and gold decoration.
The bowl measures 14.5 inches in width and stands 6 inches tall, making it a substantial piece intended for use as a dramatic centerpiece.
This is a high-quality reproduction crafted by Mottahedeh. It is modeled after an 18th-century Chinese export porcelain artifact originally owned by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller.
Because of the gold trim, it is best to store the bowl in a protected area where it won't be scratched by other dinnerware. Using a soft cloth or felt liner beneath the bowl can also help protect your table surface from the footed base.
