Terracotta Footed Fruit Bowl 30 cm

Key measurements for finding the right location:

• Diameter: 30 cm
• Height: 15 cm
• Weight: 5 kg

Everything you need to know about the material:

• Basin mounted on a flared base, unglazed terracotta
• Dark brown with an aubergine tint, rough surface
• Reliefs and undulations from hand-molding visible on the body
• Rimmed with a smooth cane, the only polished part
• Diameter 30 cm, height 15 cm, 5 kg
• Porous clay, to be isolated from a wooden tray

A foot changes everything: it raises the content to eye level and creates a void beneath the bowl, making the object appear lighter than it is. This is what distinguishes a presentation bowl from a mere container, and what makes it credible standing alone at the center of a large table.

What you need to know for installation and maintenance:

• Place a coaster or felt underneath; porous clay will mark wood.
• Use a dry brush in the crevices of the sculpted areas.
• Never use detergent; it will penetrate the clay and leave light marks.
• Lift with two hands by the basin, never by the rim.
