Know before you buy
No. Because these bowls are handcrafted from natural olivewood, each piece features distinct grain patterns, color variations, and a unique live edge. You should expect your bowl to have its own individual character that differs from the images shown.
This bowl must be hand washed with mild soap and dried immediately; it is not dishwasher safe. To keep the wood from drying out and to maintain its luster, occasionally rub the surface with a food-safe mineral or olive oil.
Yes, you can serve warm foods like pasta in this bowl. However, it is not oven or microwave safe, so it should not be used to heat or cook food.
At 6 inches in diameter and 2 inches in height, this is a small, decorative bowl. It is best suited for serving individual portions of salad, side dishes, nuts, or small snacks rather than large family-style meals.
These bowls are crafted using traditional techniques and are typically finished to highlight the natural beauty of the olivewood. We recommend periodic oiling with food-grade mineral oil to maintain the wood's health and appearance over time.
