Know before you buy
The gold leaf is a decorative finish intended for aesthetic appeal. To maintain its luster and prevent scratching or peeling, handle the bowl with care and avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh cleaning agents on the exterior.
Hand wash the bowl with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Because it is made of natural wood, you should occasionally re-apply a food-grade mineral oil to the interior to keep the teak hydrated and prevent cracking.
This bowl is best suited for dry foods like fruits, salads, or bread. It is not designed for hot liquids or heavy, moisture-rich dishes, as prolonged exposure to heat and water can compromise the wood and the gold leaf finish.
Because each bowl is hand-carved from natural teak, you should expect slight variations in wood grain, color, and shape. These unique characteristics are part of the artisanal process and ensure that your piece is one-of-a-kind.
Yes, the bowl is crafted from SVLK-certified teak. This certification ensures that the wood has been legally harvested and sourced from managed, sustainable forests.
