Large Round Raised Glass Bowl with Short Stem - Grey & Brown

This round glass bowl sits high on a short, rounded stem, lifting whatever it holds clear of the table. The wide, shallow dish is smoke-grey glass with a shiny finish, and it rests on an amber-brown stem, so the two colours meet where bowl and base join. Light passes through both, giving a soft grey wash across the dish and a warm glow at the foot. It measures 29.3cm wide, 28.1cm deep and 17cm tall, a large, generous size that reads as a centrepiece rather than an accessory.

We see it at the centre of a dining table, on a coffee table or along a sideboard, anywhere a flat surface could use a focal point with a little height. Fill it with pine cones in winter, dried flowers or decorative spheres, or leave it empty and let the coloured glass do the work on its own. The grey and brown sit comfortably with natural wood, linen and warm metal tones, and suit a modern living room as easily as a more traditional dining room. It makes a thoughtful new home gift, the kind of housewarming present that finds a place on the first day and stays there.

The bowl and stem are both glass, finished with a shine that catches the light from a nearby window or lamp. The dish is wide and open rather than deep, so whatever you place in it stays in view. To care for it, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and dry it with a lint-free cloth to keep the surface free of marks. When you move it, hold the bowl and the stem together, and stand it on a level, stable surface away from the edge. For gifting, tuck a few pine cones inside before you wrap it, so it arrives ready to use.
