Description
This conical jute decorative bowl is a small, earthy piece made from natural jute and finished with cotton stitching. The jute is coiled round and round from a neat centre spiral, and each row is held to the next with zigzag stitches in black thread, with a band of warm orange running near the rim and again around the outside. A plaited rim of plain jute frames the pattern. It measures 20cm across and 4cm high, so it is shallow and open rather than deep, with gently sloping sides that give it its conical shape. It weighs just 0.1KG.
We like it anywhere the small things of the day tend to gather. Set on a hall table or a chest of drawers, it gives loose bits a tidy home. On a dressing table it suits hair accessories and jewellery, and on a bedside table it is somewhere to drop the little things you take off at night. Because it is shallow, whatever sits in it stays easy to see and reach. The natural jute and black stitching sit comfortably with wood, linen, rattan and other natural textures, in a relaxed, rustic room or a pared-back modern one.
Each one is handmade, so no two bowls are exactly alike. Expect small variations in colour, pattern and size, along with the subtle imperfections that come with natural fibre and hand stitching, which we think is a large part of its charm. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush, and keep it somewhere dry, as natural fibres prefer. It looks good on its own as a simple accent on a shelf or coffee table. It also makes an easy, thoughtful gift for anyone who loves natural, handmade homeware.
