Description
This is a wide pink glass bowl with a rippled rim that circles the whole piece, pressed into deep ribs that radiate from the centre like the petals of an open flower. It measures 29cm across and 11cm tall, so it is a broad, shallow bowl rather than a deep mixing bowl, with a flared body that narrows to a small foot. That foot rests on a thick round glass disc, which lifts the whole bowl a little from the surface. The glass has a soft, flecked look, with paler streaks running through the pink, and at 2.5KG it has real weight in the hand.
The maker rates it food safe, so it can work at the table as well as on a shelf. Pile it with lemons or clementines on a kitchen island, fill it with sweets for the coffee table when friends visit, or set it at the centre of a dining table with fresh fruit. Between meals it suits a hall console, a sideboard or a bedroom dresser, where it can hold keys, hair clips or rings and still look like a deliberate choice. It would make a thoughtful gift for someone setting up a new home, or for anyone who likes colour in glass around the house.
The bowl is made entirely of glass, from the ribbed body to the round base on which it stands, and the surface has a glossy sheen that catches the light. Glass is non-porous, so it does not soak up smells or juices the way some materials can. Because it is 29cm across and weighs 2.5KG, we would give it a level spot with a little space to each side so the rippled edge can be seen in full. Set it alone on a console beside a lamp, or fill it with fruit of a single colour so the pink and the ribs stay the focus.
