Description
The Forleyet is a shallow oval decorative bowl in aluminium with an antique nickel finish. The surface carries a fine, speckled texture, darker flecks set against a soft pewter-grey sheen, and the rim rises only slightly before finishing in a brighter, gently uneven edge. It measures 36cm long and 32cm wide, and at just 1cm high it sits closer to a tray than a deep bowl, so whatever you set on it stays on show rather than hidden away.
We see it working best as an indoor centrepiece: on a dining table between meals, on a coffee table beside a stack of books, or on a hallway console where keys and post land at the end of the day. On a dressing table it gathers rings, watches and bracelets in one place. Because it is not for food use, it is one for keepsakes, ornaments and pebbles rather than fruit or bread. Its low profile suits a shelf or sideboard where a taller piece would block the view, and the metallic tone sits comfortably beside brass, black or grey.
Each Forleyet bowl is handmade and every piece is unique, so the texture and the line of the rim vary a little from one bowl to the next; that small irregularity is part of its character. Aluminium is a light metal, and the whole bowl weighs 1KG, which makes it easy to lift, move and restyle whenever the mood takes you. It is not dishwasher-proof, so any cleaning is done by hand. Our practical tip: give it a permanent home on the hallway table or the dresser for the small things that tend to wander, and you will always know where your keys are.

Frequently Asked
Can this decorative bowl hold fruit or snacks?
No. It is not for food use, so we suggest keys, jewellery, ornaments or other small keepsakes rather than fruit, sweets or snacks.
Is the Forleyet bowl dishwasher-proof?
No, it is not dishwasher-proof, so keep it out of the dishwasher and do any cleaning by hand instead.
How big is the bowl?
It is 36cm long, 32cm wide and only 1cm high, so it is a shallow, low piece that works much like a tray.
What material is the bowl?
It is aluminium with an antique nickel finish, and the whole piece weighs 1KG, so it is easy to lift and move around the home.
Will my bowl look exactly the same as every other one?
Not quite. Each one is handmade and every piece is unique, so the texture and the outline of the rim differ slightly from bowl to bowl.
