Description
Mettemarie is a large, wide iron bowl in gold, 36cm across and 13cm tall, with a capacity of 9000ml. Its surface, inside and out, is covered in small dimples that give it a hammered look and catch the light as you move around it, so the gold never reads as flat. The sides curve down from a thin, open rim towards a narrower base, and inside the dimpling gives way to a smooth, flat circle at the centre. For a bowl this size it is light, at 0.83KG, which matters when it is full and you are carrying it to the table.
The maker approves it for food, so this is a bowl for the table as much as the shelf. At 36cm across it is a proper serving bowl: big enough for a tossed salad for a gathering, a heap of fruit on the kitchen table, or bread rolls passed round at a long lunch. Between meals it earns its place as a display bowl on a sideboard, a console or a dining table, holding fruit, pine cones at Christmas or nothing at all. It suits anyone who likes metal in the kitchen and wants one piece that does duty for both serving and display.
It is made of 100% iron. The maker says it does not go in the dishwasher, so it is washed in the sink, and it is not for the microwave or the oven, so it is a bowl for serving and holding food rather than heating it. Bring it out for salads, fruit and bread, and leave warming to the cookware made for it. As a styling note, the dimpled gold looks its best where it catches light: set it on a dark wood sideboard or a shelf near a window and give it room, as a bowl this wide looks better on its own than crowded among other pieces.
