Know before you buy
The crackled effect is achieved by dipping the hot, mouth-blown glass into ice-cold water. This traditional technique causes the surface to fracture, creating the distinctive, light-reflecting pattern unique to each piece.
No, this bowl is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the handcrafted glass and the textured finish, we recommend hand washing or gently wiping it clean with a soft cloth.
This bowl is not oven or microwave safe and is not designed to withstand high heat. It is best used for serving room-temperature items, cold snacks, or as a decorative centerpiece.
The bowl has a diameter of 10.25 inches and stands 4 inches tall. Its substantial size makes it an ideal statement piece for a dining table or kitchen island.
Because each piece is mouth-blown and handcrafted in Sweden, there will be slight variations in the crackle pattern and shape. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure your bowl is one-of-a-kind.
