FAQs
What does 'Reverse Bowl' mean in the product name?
It refers to the bowl's dual functionality. It can be used in its natural, wider form as a platter, or it can be inverted to be used as a deeper serving bowl.
Are the colored stripes painted on?
No, the colored ribbons of color are created by heating colored glass rods and applying them directly to the glass before it is mouthblown and shaped.
Can I put hot food in this bowl?
It is best suited for room-temperature or chilled foods. Avoid sudden or extreme temperature changes as this can damage the glass.
How should I clean the bowl?
Handwashing with mild soap and warm water is recommended. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Will my bowl look exactly like the picture?
Due to the handmade nature of the product, each bowl will have unique variations in color application and form. No two are identical, which is part of their artisanal charm.
Is this bowl dishwasher safe?
No, it is not recommended for dishwasher use. The handmade process and applied glass decoration are best preserved with careful handwashing.
What inspired the 'Folk' collection design?
The design is inspired by traditional Polish textiles and folk costumes, specifically recalling the style of Łowicki costume with its painterly stripes and vibrant colors.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and rinsing thoroughly. Dry immediately with a lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.
