Turkish 3″ Ceramic Bowl Green

Description

Elevate your tabletop with the Hand-Painted Turkish Tapas Bowl, a vibrant fusion of artistry and function. Crafted by skilled artisans using centuries-old techniques, each bowl is individually hand-painted with traditional floral or geometric patterns and then high-fired at around 1300°C to ensure durability and safety.

Craftsmanship

The painting process reflects a rich heritage originating from Ottoman-era artistry, particularly from Iznik and Kütahya traditions. Each bowl is lovingly hand-painted with mineral-based, lead-free pigments, then glazed and kiln-fired to preserve the design’s luminosity and make it food-safe.

Food Safety

These ceramic bowls are crafted from lead-free glazes and mineral paints, making them safe for serving food. The high-temperature firing process ensures that patterns won’t fade and the bowls are durable enough for regular use, including microwave and dishwasher compatibility. Nevertheless, some vintage or decorative variants may be best enjoyed with dry items only—when in doubt, hand-wash to preserve the vibrant finish.

Creative Uses

These versatile bowls invite creativity:

• Serving Tapas & Mezzes: Perfect for olives, hummus, dips, nuts, or condiments.

• Decorative Accents: Use as trinket dishes for jewelry, keys, or to add brightness to shelves and altars.

• Mini Planters: Line with a bit of sealed cork or moss and pop in small succulents for a unique display.

• Desk Organizers: Store paperclips, thumbtacks, or charging cables in stylish form.
