Know before you buy
No. Because each bowl is individually hand-thrown and glazed, the specific distribution of the tortoise shell pattern will vary from piece to piece, making yours truly one-of-a-kind.
Yes, this is a functional earthen bowl suitable for serving food. However, as with most artisanal ceramics, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the glossy glaze.
The bowl features a matte blue base designed to provide a secure, stable foundation. Its 11-inch diameter offers a wide footprint that sits firmly on dining tables or countertops.
We recommend hand washing this piece to protect the artisanal glaze. While the earthen material is durable, the unique finish is best maintained by avoiding the harsh heat and detergents of a dishwasher or microwave.
At 11 inches wide and 6 inches tall, this bowl makes an excellent centerpiece. It is perfectly sized for holding a collection of seasonal fruit, decorative spheres, or simply standing alone as a sculptural statement piece.
