Description
The Forleyet decorative bowl is a small, shallow dish in the shape of a leaf, made from aluminium and finished in a warm gold with a brass tone. Raised veins run out from a central rib across the whole surface, and the metal has a rough, pitted texture, so light catches the ridges and settles in the hollows. It measures 13cm long, 9.5cm wide and 2.5cm high, which makes it a palm-sized piece rather than a centrepiece, and at 0.1KG it is light enough to move around the house without a second thought.
Because it is a decorative piece and not for food use, it earns its place as a catch-all: a home for rings and earrings on a dressing table, keys and coins in a hallway, or paperclips on a desk. It also sits happily on a bookshelf or a bedside table simply as a small golden object worth a glance. The leaf shape brings a natural note into a room without adding any bulk, and the gold finish works alongside warm woods, cream linens and green plants. It makes a thoughtful little gift, too, particularly for someone who loves botanical detail.
Each bowl is handmade, so every piece is unique: the veins, the edge and the depth of the texture vary a little from bowl to bowl, and yours will have its own character. Aluminium is a light metal, which is why the bowl weighs so little in the hand. It is not made for food and it is not dishwasher-proof, so keep it for keepsakes and keep it out of the dishwasher. As a practical note, set it somewhere it will be seen closely, because the texture is the detail that rewards a second look.

Frequently Asked

No. The bowl is not for food use, so we suggest it for jewellery, keys, coins and other small keepsakes instead.

It is not dishwasher-proof, so keep it out of the dishwasher altogether; it is a decorative piece rather than everyday tableware.

It is 13cm long, 9.5cm wide and 2.5cm high, a shallow, compact size that suits a dressing table, bedside table or hall shelf.
What material is the bowl?
It is made from aluminium with a gold finish in a brass tone, and it weighs just 0.1KG, so it is easy to move between rooms.
Is every bowl identical?
No. Each bowl is handmade, so every piece is unique, with small differences in the veins, the edge and the surface texture.
