Know before you buy
No, this bowl is not microwave safe. The presence of hand-painted gold details makes it unsuitable for microwave use.
Yes, it is dishwasher safe, but you must use short cycles at low temperatures to protect the delicate porcelain and hand-painted gold accents.
Grisaille is a traditional artistic technique that uses shades of grey to create a monochromatic, sculptural effect. In this collection, it is used to render the intricate country animal drawings found in the Vista Alegre archive.
The bowl has a diameter of 262 mm and a height of 88 mm. It is a substantial piece, weighing approximately 1105 grams, making it well-suited for serving large salads or as a decorative centerpiece.
Because the gold is hand-painted, it is best to handle the bowl with care. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh detergents when cleaning to ensure the finish remains vibrant over time.
