Alessi Bowl

The double-wall design allows the bowl to maintain a substantial, high-end look while remaining surprisingly lightweight. It also provides structural rigidity, making the vessel durable enough for everyday use despite its delicate, intricate appearance.

Because of the textured surface, we recommend hand washing with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or steel wool, which could scratch the finish or get caught in the granular pattern.

While it is made from 18/10 stainless steel, which is food-safe and heat-resistant, the double-wall construction is primarily designed for aesthetic impact and serving dry goods or room-temperature items. It is not insulated like a thermal carafe, so it will not keep food hot for extended periods.

The large size (12.6 inches) works best as a standalone centerpiece for a dining table, providing enough visual weight to anchor the space. For smaller coffee tables or sideboards, the medium or small sizes offer a more proportional fit.

The granulation finish does have more surface area than a smooth bowl, so it may collect dust over time. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth or a gentle rinse is usually enough to keep the texture looking crisp and clean.
