Know before you buy
No, this piece is intended for decorative use only. Due to the traditional block-printing process and the use of natural vegetable dyes, it is not suitable for direct contact with food.
No, this bowl is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the hand-applied vegetable dyes and the delicate Limoges porcelain, we recommend cleaning it gently by hand with a soft, dry cloth.
The barchetta, or boat shape, is a distinct oval silhouette that adds a sculptural element to your table. It is specifically designed to provide an elegant, elongated presentation for decorative displays or non-food items.
Because the pattern is applied using traditional hand-carved pearwood stamps and natural dyes, it is sensitive to moisture and abrasive cleaners. Keep the bowl in a dry environment and avoid using water or chemical detergents on the surface.
No, this bowl is not microwave safe. The combination of fine Limoges porcelain and traditional artisanal dyes means it should not be exposed to high heat or direct radiation.
