Hostess & Home Bowl/Server

These bowls are designed for serving dry or room-temperature foods like salads, bread, or fruit. Because they are made of wood, they are not intended for hot liquids or direct heat, which could damage the finish or warp the material.

To preserve the hand-painted finish and the integrity of the wood, hand wash these pieces with mild soap and warm water. Avoid soaking them or putting them in the dishwasher, and dry them immediately after washing.

Because each piece is handmade and features natural wood grain, your bowl will have slight variations in pattern and color compared to the product photos. This is a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensures your server is truly one-of-a-kind.

It is best to avoid direct contact with highly acidic or oily foods for extended periods. If you do serve vinaigrettes, we recommend using a small glass or ceramic insert to protect the wood's finish from staining or absorbing flavors.

Yes, to keep the wood from drying out or cracking, we recommend occasionally applying a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner. This will help maintain the luster of the finish and extend the life of your serving set.
