Know before you buy
Yes, the bowl is crafted with non-toxic, food-safe glazes, making it perfectly suitable for serving snacks, dips, or small sides.
No, this piece is not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe. Due to the delicate nature of the handcrafted earthenware and the intricate enamel transfers, we recommend hand washing only to preserve the finish.
The bowl is fired three times to create a rich, durable surface. While it is robust enough for regular use as a serving piece, it should be handled with the care typically afforded to fine ceramic art.
The bowl measures 5.25 inches in diameter and stands 4 inches tall, making it an ideal size for individual servings or small decorative arrangements.
The intricate moth motifs are applied using detailed enamel transfers derived from Laura Zindel’s original graphite pencil drawings. These are set against the glaze during the firing process to ensure a lasting, artistic finish.
