Andrew Pearce Willoughby Bowl

Yes, the bowl is finished with a premium, food-safe walnut oil that creates a protective barrier. It is perfectly suitable for serving salads, fruits, or dry snacks.

To preserve the wood, hand wash the bowl with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, and periodically apply a food-grade mineral oil or walnut oil to keep the wood from drying out.

The Willoughby Bowl features a natural matte finish. Because it is finished with oil rather than a synthetic lacquer, it retains a soft, organic texture that feels smooth to the touch.

The 12-inch bowl is ideal for smaller gatherings of 2 to 4 people, while the 16-inch bowl provides more capacity for serving 4 to 6 people. Consider your typical serving portions and the amount of table space you have available.

No, the bowl is crafted from solid black walnut and finished only with food-safe oil. The deep, rich color you see is the natural hue of the wood itself.

Because each bowl is carved by hand from a single piece of locally-sourced wood, the grain pattern and color variations will be unique to your specific piece. This ensures your bowl is one-of-a-kind.
