Product Information
Full details
This B&Q Molten Glass Goldfish Bowl On Wood is designed for individuals seeking unique, handcrafted decorative pieces with a natural aesthetic. Its key benefit lies in its one-of-a-kind design, where molten glass is shaped directly onto a gamal wood base, ensuring no two bowls are exactly alike. A potential caveat is that the organic nature of the glass and wood means slight variations in shape and size are to be expected, contributing to its artisanal charm.

FAQs
Is this bowl safe for live fish?
While named a goldfish bowl, its design and size are primarily intended for decorative use with non-aquatic items like plants, pebbles, or candles. It is not recommended for housing live fish.
How do I clean the molten glass?
Clean the glass with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild soap and water solution, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Will the wood base be damaged by water?
Minor moisture from condensation or damp items should be manageable. However, prolonged exposure to standing water is not recommended. Use a coaster or tray if placing very wet items inside.
Are the glass and wood natural materials?
Yes, the bowl is made from recycled molten glass shaped directly onto a natural gamal wood base.
Can I choose the exact shape of the bowl?
No, each bowl is uniquely formed during the molten glass process, meaning slight variations in shape and size are characteristic of the product and contribute to its individual charm.
What are the dimensions of the bowl?
The bowl is approximately 20cm in size, offering a versatile decorative option.
Where is this product made?
This product is made in Indonesia.
Troubleshooting
Glass appears cloudy or dirty
Gently wipe the glass with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse carefully, then dry with a lint-free cloth.
Wood base feels dry or rough
Apply a small amount of natural wood oil (like linseed or tung oil) with a soft cloth, buffing gently. Test on a hidden area first to ensure compatibility.
Bowl is unstable
Ensure the bowl is placed on a perfectly flat and level surface. Check that the wood base is not warped or uneven; contact customer service if damage is suspected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This item requires no assembly. Simply place it on a stable, level surface.
Compatibility: While named a goldfish bowl, its size and material are best suited for decorative purposes with items like air plants, pebbles, sand, floating candles, or dry arrangements. It is not recommended for housing live fish due to potential limitations in water volume and stability for aquatic life.
Care:
- Glass: Clean the glass gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch or damage the surface.
- Wood Base: Dust the wood base with a dry or slightly damp cloth. If the wood appears dry, a very light application of natural wood oil can be used sparingly, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Placement: Position the bowl away from direct sunlight to prevent potential fading of the wood and to avoid overheating the contents. Ensure it is placed on a surface that can tolerate moisture, in case of condensation.
