Bordallo Pinheiro Acorn Box

With a capacity of 2660 ml, this box is best suited for small household essentials like keys, loose change, jewelry, or even wrapped candies. It is not designed for large items, but it offers ample space for the small clutter that often accumulates on entryways or coffee tables.

The lid is designed to rest on top of the base. It is not airtight or locking, so it is intended primarily for decorative storage rather than preserving food or keeping contents completely sealed.

Earthenware is a porous ceramic, so it is best to hand wash this piece with mild soap and water. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the finish or cause the material to crack over time.

At 3.83 lbs, it has a substantial weight, but it is primarily designed as a decorative vessel. While it could potentially hold up lightweight paperbacks, it is not engineered for heavy-duty book support.

The intricate detailing of the acorn cap does require a bit more attention than a smooth surface. A soft-bristled brush or a microfiber cloth is the most effective way to remove dust from the crevices without scratching the glaze.
