Vietri Rufolo Bowl

While the bowl is designed for serving, it is made of glass and is best suited for room-temperature or cold items like salads, fruit, or bread. Avoid using it for extremely hot liquids or direct oven use to protect the integrity of the hand-painted gold finish.

Because of the delicate hand-painted gold strands, this bowl must be hand washed only. Use a soft sponge and mild dish soap, and avoid abrasive scrubbers or the dishwasher, which can damage the finish over time.

The organic, irregular edges are part of the bowl's aesthetic appeal. While it doesn't stack perfectly like standard round dinnerware, its 12-inch diameter makes it a substantial centerpiece that is best displayed on a table or open shelf rather than tucked away in a cabinet.

The gold embellishments are applied by hand in Italy and are durable for standard serving use. However, to keep it looking pristine, avoid using metal serving utensils that could scratch the surface; wooden or silicone servers are a safer choice.

It is designed for both. While the craftsmanship makes it elegant enough for holidays and dinner parties, its size and durability make it perfectly functional for everyday use as a fruit bowl or a serving piece for casual family meals.
