Know before you buy
No, this piece is intended for decorative use only and is not food-safe. It should not be used to hold or serve edible items.
Because this piece is not dishwasher safe, you should clean it by hand using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers to protect the hand-painted finish.
The centerpiece measures approximately 16 inches in width, 16 inches in length, and 3 inches in height. Given its 3.57kg weight, it provides a substantial and stable presence on a table.
The piece features a smooth, hand-painted finish that gives it a vibrant, polished look. This surface reflects light well, enhancing the bold yellow color and the sculptural details of the design.
While it is designed for indoor decor, it can be used on a covered patio or protected surface. However, because it is crafted from earthenware, it should be kept out of direct weather and freezing temperatures to prevent damage to the material.
