Orrefors Sofiero Bowl

Yes, the bowl is made of high-quality crystal and is safe for serving food. However, because it is a delicate piece of art glass, we recommend hand-washing it gently to maintain its clarity and finish.

The medium size is designed to be versatile, making it ideal for a coffee table centerpiece, a fruit bowl, or a standalone decorative accent. It strikes a balance between being substantial enough to hold items and compact enough to fit on most side tables or shelves.

Gunnar Cyrén was a legendary Swedish glass artist, and the Sofiero series, originally designed in 1960, is considered a hallmark of mid-century Scandinavian design. Owning this piece means owning a recognized classic that represents a specific, celebrated era of Swedish craftsmanship.

To keep the crystal looking its best, avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh detergents. Hand-wash with warm water and a mild soap, then dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.

As a piece of high-quality crystal, it has a solid, substantial weight that feels balanced and stable. It is not fragile in the sense of being paper-thin, but it should be handled with the care appropriate for fine glassware.
