To preserve the unique crackled finish, you should hand wash the bowl or gently wipe it with a soft cloth. It is not dishwasher safe, and you should avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
Because each bowl is mouth-blown and handmade in Kosta, Sweden, there may be slight variations in the exact shape and texture. The bowl measures approximately 10.25 inches in diameter and 4 inches in height.
The signature texture is achieved through a traditional glassblowing technique where hot glass is dipped into ice-cold water. This thermal shock creates the abstract, sculptural crackled pattern unique to each piece.
