Know before you buy
Yes. While it is designed as a sculptural piece, it is made from high-fired ceramic, making it durable enough for daily service and safe for both microwave and dishwasher use.
The bowl measures 8.5 inches in diameter and 4.25 inches in height. Its size and depth make it ideal for serving salads, side dishes, or fresh fruit, though its sculptural shape also works well as a standalone centerpiece.
Because each piece is hand-molded in Peru using traditional techniques, there will be subtle variations in the finish and form. These slight imperfections are intentional and reflect the artisanal nature of the ceramic.
No special maintenance is required. The high-firing process enhances the strength of the clay, ensuring the bowl is robust enough for standard dishwasher cycles and regular handling.
The bowl features a solid, high-quality glaze over fine clay. While it has a distinct sculptural form, the surface is smooth and functional for serving food.
