What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly adore the unique, whimsical design of these cabbage bowls, often describing them as stunning statement pieces perfect for entertaining. The vibrant green color and realistic texture are frequently praised. While the earthenware material is beautiful, some reviewers note minor inconsistencies in the glaze or express concern about the fragility inherent in ceramic serving ware, suggesting careful handling is necessary. Overall, the bowls are celebrated for bringing charm and character to the table, justifying the price point for their artistic quality.
Know before you buy
While the earthenware construction is durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the hand-painted finish. It is generally not recommended for microwave use to prevent thermal shock to the ceramic.
With a 2500 ml capacity, this bowl is quite large and well-suited for family-style servings of salad, pasta, or roasted vegetables for four to six people.
The intricate relief detailing adds character, but it does require a bit more attention than a smooth bowl. A soft brush or sponge works best to ensure any residue is removed from the crevices.
At 1.845kg, this is a substantial, sturdy piece of earthenware. It feels solid and high-quality on the table, though like all ceramics, it should be handled with care to avoid chipping.
The bowl is heat-resistant and perfectly safe for serving warm dishes like pasta or steamed vegetables. Just avoid placing it directly on a stovetop or under a broiler.
