What customers say

Know before you buy
No, this bowl is intended for decorative display only and is not food safe.
The Crete Bowl is not dishwasher safe. We recommend gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the integrity of the matte glaze.
Because each piece is handmade in Portugal, there will be slight variations in the organic shape and glaze application. These unique characteristics are intentional and part of the bowl's artisanal appeal.
The bowl weighs 4 pounds, providing a substantial, high-quality feel. Its asymmetrical base is designed to sit securely on flat surfaces, making it a stable choice for a coffee table or console display.
The Crete Bowl works best as a standalone statement piece due to its sculptural handles and unique silhouette. Its coastal aesthetic pairs beautifully with natural textures like wood, linen, or stone.
