Description
Our Indah bowl is cut from 100% marble and shaped into a low, round dish with a thick, softly rounded rim that curves inwards to a shallow hollow. It measures 15cm across and 5cm tall, small enough to hand round the table. The stone is grey with swirling veins and soft tonal patterns, and because marble is a natural stone, the veining varies from one piece to the next, so your bowl will carry its own markings. At 1.79KG it is heavy for its size, which keeps it steady on a table or shelf.
The maker rates it food safe, so it works as a small serving bowl: olives, salted nuts or a few sweets for guests, or a little dish of sea salt beside the hob. Away from the kitchen it makes a handsome catch-all. Set it on a hallway console for keys, on a dressing table for rings and earrings, or on a bedside table for a watch at night. In the bathroom it sits well beside the basin as a soap dish. The wide, low form and the weight of the stone suit a busy desk or a coffee table, where it holds its place.
The surface has a polished finish that brings out the depth of the veining. It does not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so this is a bowl to wash by hand. Marble is a porous stone, and acidic foods such as lemon or vinegar can mark it, so it is better suited to dry snacks than to dressings. For styling, set it on warm wood beside a candlestick or a short stack of books, where the grey stone stands out against the grain, or give it a shelf of its own and let the swirling pattern do the work.
