In the northern countries, they use these perforated bowls to keep berries fresh for longer. The holes allow air to circulate freely among the fruits, preventing mold and rot. Then, just a rinse under water and they are ready to be enjoyed. The bowls are perfect for being brought directly to the table. Dimensions: approximately 10 cm in diameter; approximately 7.5 cm in height. Each bowl is individually crafted, signed, glazed, decorated, and finished with high-temperature firing. All my ceramics are food-safe as the glazes are non-toxic and free of lead or harmful fluxes. They are dishwasher safe. The ceramics are sturdy but fragile to impacts. With this in mind, package the parcels for shipping. A soft and comfortable packaging will protect the ceramics from impacts. Almost all packaging is recycled to have a low impact on environmental pollution.
