Know before you buy
The bowl features an authentic, rougher clay texture inspired by traditional Portuguese craftsmanship. It has a tactile, organic feel rather than a smooth, polished finish.
No, the Antiqua Bowl is not microwave, dishwasher, oven, or freezer safe. We recommend hand washing it gently to preserve the integrity of the natural clay.
With an 11.5-inch diameter and a 4-inch height, this is a generous serving bowl. It is perfectly sized for large salads, fruit displays, or family-style side dishes.
Due to its specific artisanal shape and material, this bowl is not designed to be stackable. It is best displayed as a standalone centerpiece or stored individually.
The Antiqua Bowl is crafted from a locally sourced, rougher clay body. This material choice is intentional, designed to mimic the look and feel of vintage Portuguese basins.
