Description
Our Harmonia bowl is made entirely of marble and finished to a polish. Its walls fold into deep, even flutes that run from the centre out to a pleated, wavy rim, so from above it looks like an open flower and from the side like a ruffled collar. It is a low, wide shape, 17.5cm across and 6cm tall, with a capacity of 100ml, which makes it a shallow dish for small things rather than a deep bowl for a meal. The white stone carries soft natural veining, and at 1.45KG it has real weight in the hand.
The maker states it can hold food, so it works as a small serving dish for olives, nuts, sweets or a few chocolates with coffee. Away from the table it makes a fine catch-all on a hallway console for keys and rings, a jewellery dish on a dressing table, or a home for soap and hair ties beside a bathroom basin. On a coffee table or an open shelf it holds its own as a decorative bowl, empty or with a handful of dried seed pods, and it suits anyone who likes natural materials with a little softness in the shape. It also makes a thoughtful housewarming present.
Its surface is polished, which brings out the depth of the stone and gives the flutes a soft sheen. It is not for the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so wash it by hand. Marble is a natural stone, so no two pieces are veined quite alike. Marble also stays cool to the touch, and at this weight the bowl stays put, even on a busy console. For styling, set it on warm wood or a linen runner, where the white stone and the ridged rim show clearly, and leave a little space around it so the pleated outline shows.
