Know before you buy
No, this bowl is intended for decorative use only. Due to its vintage nature and porous clay construction, it should not be used to hold food or liquids.
Because each bowl is an authentic antique, you should expect natural variations in size, texture, and finish. These unique imperfections are part of the piece's history and character, meaning no two bowls are identical.
To preserve the finish, avoid using water, soap, or harsh cleaning agents. We recommend gently dusting the bowl with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean.
Yes, the bowl features a flat bottom specifically designed for stable placement on flat surfaces like coffee tables, shelves, or consoles.
No, this bowl is not compatible with microwaves or dishwashers. Its vintage ceramic material is fragile and should be kept away from high heat and moisture.
