{"product_id":"vigo-soapstone-bowl-12-5x8cm-brown","title":"Vigo Soapstone Bowl 12.5x8cm - Brown","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis little bowl is made of 100% soapstone and shaped as a small four-legged animal, with pointed ears, an eye marked on its face and a short tail at the back. The body of the animal is the bowl itself: a shallow, rounded hollow runs along its back, so the piece is a little ornament and a useful dish at once. It measures 12.5cm long, 8cm wide and 4.5cm tall, a size that sits comfortably in the palm of a hand, and the brown stone is flecked across its whole surface, which gives it a quiet, natural texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a decorative bowl, it is happiest holding the small things that otherwise go astray. On a dressing table or bedside table it keeps rings, earrings and a watch together overnight; in a hallway it gives house keys a home; on a desk it gathers paperclips and a USB stick. At 4.5cm tall it sits low, so it slips onto a crowded shelf or windowsill without hiding the books or frames behind it. The little animal also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys a touch of character at home, and it is equally at ease in a modern flat or a country cottage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoapstone is a soft natural stone, which is why it lends itself so well to carving, and this piece has a polished finish that gives the surface a gentle sheen and a smooth feel under the fingers. At 0.564KG it has a satisfying weight for its size and feels solid in the hand, never flimsy. For an easy display, set it on a short stack of books with a small plant beside it, or pair it with a candle on a tray, where the brown stone sits happily next to wood, linen and other natural materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Soapstone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.564KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the bowl?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made of 100% soapstone, a soft natural stone, finished with a polish that gives it a smooth feel and a gentle sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the Vigo bowl?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is 12.5cm long, 8cm wide and 4.5cm tall, small enough for a dressing table, a bedside table or a narrow shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the best use for this bowl?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a decorative bowl, well suited to rings, earrings, a watch, house keys or paperclips, and it also works on its own as a small ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow heavy is the bowl?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt weighs 0.564KG, which gives it a solid, weighty feel for a piece only 12.5cm long and 8cm wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the animal shaped?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a small four-legged animal with pointed ears, an eye marked on its face and a short tail, with the shallow bowl set into its back.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomingville","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53414623150347,"sku":"82068232","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/00_82068232.jpg?v=1791122823","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/vigo-soapstone-bowl-12-5x8cm-brown","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
