Rico & Plato Dorito Teak Bowl

Yes, the bowl is finished with a food-safe mineral oil, making it suitable for serving dry snacks or appetizers. However, because of the delicate gold leaf finish, we recommend avoiding acidic or wet foods that could potentially damage the surface over time.

Yes, despite the asymmetrical and organic design, the base is crafted to sit securely on flat surfaces like dining tables or kitchen islands. Each piece is hand-carved to ensure it functions as a stable serving vessel.

To preserve the wood and the gold leaf finish, hand wash the bowl with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking it in water or using a dishwasher, and occasionally apply a food-grade mineral oil to keep the teak hydrated.

Because each bowl is hand-carved from unique teak roots, no two pieces are identical. You can expect variations in the wood grain, color, and the specific asymmetrical shape, which is part of the charm of artisanal teak products.

Yes, the teak root used for this bowl is SVLK certified, which ensures that the timber is legally harvested and sourced from sustainably managed forests.
