Know before you buy
The bowl measures 9.75 inches in diameter, making it a substantial piece suitable for serving side dishes, salads, or vegetables at the table.
Gien is renowned for its traditional faience craftsmanship. The Sologne pattern features detailed, realistic illustrations of forest fauna that are applied with the precision and artistry characteristic of the brand's historic French manufacturing process.
To maintain the vibrancy of the earth-toned palette and the integrity of the glaze, we recommend hand-washing this piece with mild detergent. Avoid using harsh abrasives or high-heat cycles in a dishwasher.
While the bowl is crafted from high-quality faience, it is generally recommended to avoid microwave use to prevent thermal shock, which can cause fine cracks in the glaze over time.
As an 'open' vegetable bowl, it features a wider, shallower profile compared to a deep serving bowl. This design is specifically intended for presenting vegetables or side dishes in a way that makes them easily accessible to guests.
