Know before you buy
The set consists of two pieces: a silver-plated outer bowl and a glass insert. You fill the outer silver bowl with crushed ice and nestle the glass bowl inside to keep your caviar at the ideal serving temperature.
The glass bowl is designed to hold 125 grams (approximately 4.2 ounces) of caviar, which is a standard size for a single tin.
No, this set is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the luster of the silver-plated finish and the clarity of the glass, we recommend hand washing both pieces with a soft cloth and mild soap.
While specifically designed for caviar, the glass bowl and silver-plated base can be used to serve other chilled delicacies like dips, sauces, or condiments that benefit from being kept on ice.
The lid is designed to sit securely on the glass bowl to protect the caviar from air exposure and maintain freshness during service, though it is not an airtight seal for long-term storage.
The signature asymmetrical ring is the hallmark of the Vertigo collection, designed by Andrée Putman. It adds a modern, sculptural element to the piece, making it a functional serving item that doubles as a sophisticated table centerpiece.
