Know before you buy
The glass bowl is designed to sit securely within the pewter bee structure, but it is not permanently attached. This allows you to easily remove the glass portion for cleaning or to refill it.
No, hand washing is recommended for this piece. The pewter base should be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap to preserve its finish, and the glass bowl should be washed by hand to prevent scratching or clouding.
The bowl measures 5 inches in diameter and 2 inches in height. It is perfectly sized for serving condiments, dips, sauces, or small appetizers like olives or nuts.
Vagabond House pewter is high-quality and generally low-maintenance. If it begins to lose its luster, you can gently polish it with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the intricate detailing of the bees.
While the glass itself is durable, we recommend avoiding the microwave. The combination of the pewter base and the glass construction makes it better suited for serving room-temperature or cold items rather than heating food.
