Know before you buy
No, this piece is intended for decorative use only and is not food safe. It serves best as a sophisticated centerpiece or a display object.
Because of the delicate gold rim and hand-blown construction, this bowl is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing it gently with a soft cloth and mild soap to preserve the finish.
The nic-nac cut is a specific, intricate engraving technique that adds depth and texture to the crystal. It works with the Venetian ribs to catch and refract light, giving the bowl its signature brilliance.
No, this bowl is not microwave safe. The presence of the gold rim makes it unsuitable for microwave use, as metal can cause arcing and damage the piece.
As each piece is hand-blown and cut in France, there may be very slight variations in the glass. These subtle differences are a hallmark of authentic, artisanal craftsmanship.
