Know before you buy
Yes, the bowl is finished with a food-safe glaze, making it suitable for serving small dishes, snacks, or condiments.
To preserve the integrity of the wood-fired finish, we recommend hand-washing with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using harsh abrasives or placing it in the dishwasher.
Due to the artisanal nature of wood-fired pottery, we recommend avoiding the microwave to prevent potential thermal shock or damage to the ceramic body.
Because each piece is hand-formed and wood-fired by Maya Machin, there will be subtle variations in the glaze and shape. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure your bowl is one-of-a-kind.
The bowl's deep black glaze and bellied silhouette make it an excellent accent for a bookshelf, coffee table, or entryway console. It works particularly well when paired with lighter-toned surfaces to create a high-contrast visual statement.
