Small Round Raised Shiny Glass Bowl with Black Foot - Orange

This small raised glass bowl sits on a black foot that lifts its shallow orange body clear of the surface beneath, so it reads as a considered piece of glass rather than an everyday dish. The glass is a warm, clear orange with a shiny finish that catches the light and glows where it falls, and the black foot gives the colour a firm, grounded base. It is round, standing 7.8cm tall and measuring 22.6cm across, a compact size that suits a smaller surface without crowding it.

We like it on a coffee table, a sideboard or a hall console, where its low, wide shape keeps it in easy view from a sofa or a doorway. On a shelf it adds a bright note of colour among books and plain ceramics, and on a dining table it makes a neat centrepiece that will not block the view across the table. It is a good home for keys, a few pebbles, pot pourri or other small keepsakes, and it works just as well left empty as a decorative piece. As a housewarming present it is a thoughtful new home gift, easy to give and easy to place in almost any room.

The bowl is made of glass with a shiny finish, so care is simple: dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away to keep the surface bright. As with any glass, handle it with a little care and set it on a flat, stable surface. Because the foot raises the bowl a touch, it looks best where the light can pass through the orange glass, such as near a window or under a table lamp. Pair it with natural wood, cream linen or other warm tones, and it will bring a quiet warmth to a room all year round.
