Ethnicraft Striped Bowl

Yes, it is food-safe, but it is strictly designed for dry food use only. Because it is made of solid wood, you should avoid serving wet or oily foods that could stain or damage the finish.

No, this bowl is not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe. To preserve the integrity of the mahogany and the varnish finish, it should be hand-washed with a soft, damp cloth and dried immediately.

Because each piece is handcrafted by Javanese artisans from solid mahogany, there will be natural variations in the wood grain and color. These unique characteristics are expected and mean your bowl will be one-of-a-kind.

The bowl is finished with a protective water-based varnish, so it does not require regular oiling. Simply wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh cleaning agents or soaking it in water, which can cause the wood to warp.

The bowl is crafted from tainted mahogany, meaning the dark color is achieved through a staining process that penetrates the wood rather than sitting on top like paint. This allows the natural texture and grain of the mahogany to remain visible.
