Simon Pearce Shelburne Bowl

The unique folded structure is primarily an aesthetic feature designed to refract light and create a dynamic visual effect. While it remains a functional vessel for serving, the interior ridges are more pronounced than a smooth bowl, so keep that in mind if you prefer easy-to-clean, seamless surfaces.

Yes, the Shelburne Bowl is made from high-quality glass and is perfectly safe for serving food. It works beautifully for items like fruit, salad, or snacks, though it is not intended for use in the microwave or dishwasher.

For a standard dining table, the medium (9.75-inch diameter) or large (12.5-inch diameter) sizes are usually the best fit. The small size is better suited for coffee tables, sideboards, or as a decorative accent in smaller spaces.

Because each piece is individually hand-blown by artisans using traditional techniques, you should expect slight variations in the glass. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the craftsmanship and ensure that your bowl is truly one-of-a-kind.

To maintain the clarity and integrity of the glass, we recommend hand-washing with mild soap and warm water. Avoid harsh abrasives or the dishwasher, as the heat and pressure can damage the hand-blown finish over time.
