Details

One of two distinct styles of turned vessels created for our exhibition 'Shapes for Holding,' this collection of Utility Bowls highlights the honesty of the material and the maker's hand. Presented in the form of everyday bowls, the amber color of naked cherry is showcased in elegantly curved walls and a satin tung oil finish. Over time, they will develop a patina, showing scars when dropped and naturally darken as they age. They are truly a record of our daily lives, reflecting the beauty of living with an object that only grows more meaningful with age.

Product Care

Avoid using metallic scrubbing pads, harsh chemicals, or acid cleaners when washing woodenware. Lukewarm water and a mild detergent will do.

Avoid soaking the piece in water for extended periods, as this can cause raised wood grain, which is rough and unpleasant to the touch.

If the piece comes into contact with moisture before cleaning, wipe it away with a soft cloth before it can be fully absorbed.

Washing the piece after each use is best to avoid staining and discoloration. Lukewarm water and a mild detergent will do.

Wipe the piece thoroughly with a soft cloth after washing, and dry on a dish rack overnight before storing. Water left on woodenware may cause the wood grain to rise.

If the surface of your piece feels rough or dry after washing, treat it with a food-safe oil or wax product, such as walnut or mineral oil. Reapply regularly with a piece of cloth as needed.
