Octopus Stonewash Decorative Bowl – Beige

This deep, rounded decorative bowl carries a sculptural octopus across its rim, its tentacles curling over the edge in fine relief. Measuring 29cm wide by 29cm deep and standing 17cm tall, it holds a generous, open form that reads as both a vessel and an artwork. The body is cast from aluminium and given a hand-applied beige stonewash, so the surface has a raw, matt quality that catches light softly. At roughly 1.57kg it feels substantial without being unwieldy, and the raised base keeps it steady on a shelf or table. Please note this piece is decorative only and is not food or water safe.

We think it works best as a coastal-leaning accent, drawing on the sea creature theme without leaning on obvious motifs. Set it on a console, sideboard or open shelf where its silhouette can be seen from more than one angle. The neutral beige tone sits easily alongside natural woods, linen, rattan and pale stone, so it suits calm, textural interiors as much as busier layered spaces. Fill it with dried grasses, pebbles, twine-wrapped baubles or leave it empty to let the octopus form speak for itself. It pairs naturally with matching starfish bowls if you want to build a small grouping.

Each bowl is cast from aluminium and finished by hand, which means small variations in the stonewash tone and the tentacle detailing are part of its character. The matt raw stone wash gives a tactile, weathered look rather than a polished shine. To care for it, dust with a dry soft cloth and wipe gently with a barely damp cloth if needed, then dry straight away. Avoid soaking, harsh cleaners and abrasive pads, and keep it away from standing water to protect the finish. Made in India.
