Description
Our Zeline wooden bowl is a small, rounded bowl made entirely of mahogany, in a warm brown with its grain plainly visible. It measures 9cm across and 4cm tall and holds 100ml, which makes it a little bowl for the table rather than one to eat a meal from: think a spoonful of dip, a handful of nuts or a pinch of sea salt. Its sides curve down to a slightly raised foot, and the grain runs in soft bands around the outside, so it reads as a piece of wood first. At 0.042KG it is very light in the hand.
It is food safe, so it belongs wherever small things are served. Place one beside a board of bread and oil, fill it with olives or almonds when friends come round for drinks, or keep it by the hob for salt or spices while you cook. A few in a row make a neat way to serve sauces and toppings, and on a breakfast table it suits butter, jam or honey. Because it is so compact it also sits happily on a kitchen shelf or an open dresser, where the warm wood looks at home beside stoneware, marble and glass. It makes a thoughtful small gift for anyone who likes to cook or to host.
Mahogany is a natural wood, so the grain differs from piece to piece and the banding on your bowl will be its own. Care is simple to follow from the maker's ratings: it is not dishwasher safe, not microwave safe and not oven safe, so keep it out of all three and wash it by hand. For a practical styling note, nest it inside a larger ceramic bowl on an open shelf so the brown wood shows against a pale glaze, or line a few up on a long board for a mix of dips.
