Know before you buy
No, the bowl is not recommended for oven use. While it is microwave safe, the earthenware material and the oak lid are not designed to withstand high oven temperatures.
The ceramic bowl is dishwasher safe, but the oak lid should be hand-washed to preserve the integrity of the wood. We recommend wiping the lid with a damp cloth and drying it immediately.
The bowl measures 12 inches in diameter and stands 2 inches high. Its low-profile design makes it an excellent choice for serving appetizers or acting as a decorative centerpiece.
The oak lid is designed to sit securely on top of the bowl for serving or storage, but it does not feature an airtight gasket. It is best used for keeping food covered during a meal or for decorative storage.
The ceramic base is durable and easy to clean in the dishwasher. To maintain the oak lid, you may occasionally apply a food-safe wood oil to keep the grain hydrated and protected.
