FAQs

Is the HAY Barro Salad Bowl dishwasher safe?

Hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the glaze and the integrity of the terracotta. While some glazed items can withstand dishwashers, it's best to avoid it for longevity.

Can I use the Barro Salad Bowl in the microwave or oven?

No, the Barro Salad Bowl is not designed for microwave or oven use. Heating can cause the terracotta to crack or break.

How should I clean food stains from the bowl?

For most stains, mild soap and water are sufficient. For tougher stains, try a paste of baking soda and water, gently scrub, and rinse thoroughly. Always dry completely afterwards.

What does 'Barro' mean?

'Barro' means 'red clay' in Portuguese, referencing the primary material used in the product's construction.

Are there other colors or finishes available in the Barro collection?

Yes, the Barro collection by Rui Pereira for HAY includes various sizes and finishes, such as natural terracotta, high-gloss color glazes, and hand-painted striped details.

Is the white glaze durable?

The white glaze is designed to be durable for everyday use. However, like all glazed pottery, it can be susceptible to scratches from abrasive materials or sharp utensils. Handle with care.

Where is the HAY Barro Salad Bowl made?

The Barro Salad Bowl is crafted in Portugal from durable terracotta.

Troubleshooting

Bowl has a slight wobble or uneven base.

This can be a characteristic of handmade terracotta. Ensure it's placed on a stable, flat surface. Small felt pads can be added to the base if needed.

White glaze appears slightly uneven or has minor pinholes.

These are normal variations in handcrafted glazes and do not affect the bowl's functionality or durability. They add to the unique character of the piece.

Water seems to be absorbed by the unglazed bottom.

Ensure the bottom is completely dry after washing. Prolonged exposure to moisture might be an issue; store in a dry place.

Minor chipping on the rim.

Handle with care. Small chips are cosmetic. Avoid dropping or banging the bowl against hard surfaces. If significant, it may compromise structural integrity.
