Know before you buy
While the dish is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, it is primarily designed as a decorative sculptural piece. Due to its intricate design and finish, it is best used as an accent bowl for keys, jewelry, or as a standalone centerpiece rather than for food service.
To preserve the oxidized and 24K goldplate accents, wipe the dish gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, polishes, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the delicate metal finishes.
No, this piece is not dishwasher or microwave safe. The combination of stainless steel and gold plating requires careful handling to maintain its appearance.
Because each piece is hand-sculpted, there may be slight variations in the details and finish. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that every dish is a unique work of art.
The dish measures 7.5 inches in length, 4.25 inches in width, and 2.5 inches in height. Its compact, asymmetrical shape makes it ideal for placement on a console table, bookshelf, or bedside nightstand.
