Know before you buy
The Nambé alloy bowl is designed to be temperature-sensitive. You can place it in the freezer for a short time to keep cold dips chilled, or warm it in the oven at a low temperature to keep hot dips at the perfect serving consistency.
To preserve the wood, hand wash the piece with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking the wood or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the material to warp or crack.
Yes, the dip bowl is a separate piece that rests on the tray. You can use it independently for other serving needs, though it is specifically balanced to sit securely within the Butterfly design.
While the alloy is durable and lustrous, it can be scratched by abrasive scrubbers or sharp metal utensils. We recommend using wooden or silicone serving spoons to maintain the finish of the bowl.
The overall diameter of the piece is 16 inches. The wood tray provides ample space for a generous portion of chips, crackers, or vegetables surrounding the central 5.5-inch dip bowl.
