Description
This is a long, narrow serving bowl in mango wood, shaped with three rounded hollows in a row and a slim handle that tapers out from one end. It measures 40cm long, 9cm wide and 2.5cm tall, so the hollows are shallow: right for small nibbles you pick up with your fingers rather than anything runny. The wood is brown, with its grain clearly visible across the top and down into each hollow, and at 0.262KG it is light enough to lift by the handle and pass along the table.
Three hollows means three things side by side: salted nuts, olives and dried figs before dinner, or almonds, raisins and chocolate buttons for a film night. Its length suits a narrow spot, so it runs neatly down the middle of a dining table, along a kitchen island or across a sideboard where guests gather with a drink. The bowl is approved for contact with food, so there is no need to line the hollows before you fill them. When it is not serving, the same shape makes a tidy dish on a console or dressing table for rings, keys and hair grips, one small thing to each hollow.
The bowl is 100% mango wood with a food safe lacquer finish. It is not dishwasher safe, so wash it by hand; it is not microwave safe or oven safe either, so keep it for serving at the table rather than warming anything through. Mango wood is a dense hardwood with a lively grain, and that grain is the main decoration here: there is no paint or pattern on top. For styling, lay it lengthways on a long board or table runner with the handle turned towards your guests, and fill the hollows in contrasting tones, pale nuts beside dark fruit, so all three stand out against the wood.
