Know before you buy
While the ceramic is durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the glossy finish and the intricate cabbage detailing. It is generally microwave safe, but avoid extreme temperature changes to prevent thermal shock.
The bowl itself weighs 1.6 kg (approximately 3.5 lbs). Because of its substantial weight and 10.6-inch diameter, it is best suited for a stable centerpiece or a permanent spot on your dining table.
Yes. Because each piece is meticulously handcrafted in a small Portuguese workshop using traditional molds, no two bowls are exactly identical. You may notice subtle variations in the glaze or texture that reflect its artisan origin.
With a diameter of 10.6 inches and a height of 5.5 inches, this bowl is quite deep and spacious. It is perfectly sized for serving large family-style salads, fruit arrangements, or as a decorative statement piece.
The high-gloss glaze is smooth and relatively resistant to surface marks. However, like any polished ceramic, it can show fingerprints with frequent handling, so a quick wipe with a soft cloth is usually all that is needed to maintain its shine.
