    Frequently Asked Questions

    What sets a luxury bowl apart?

    What makes a bowl a luxury bowl is its considered proportions and finish, so it reads as an object even empty; everyday shapes sit under bowls. We keep luxury bowls at Eleish Van Breems Home for table and shelf.

    Which luxury bowl suits serving or display?

    For serving, choose a sturdier food-safe luxury bowl in ceramic or stainless; for display, a cut-crystal or decorative piece that catches the light earns its keep on a shelf; the metal end shows under Georg Jensen bowl. Let the job — holding food or being seen — set the material.

    Where does a luxury bowl anchor a table centre?

    A luxury bowl anchors a table centre as a single sculptural piece holding fruit, or standing empty as an object, with the setting kept plain around it, built into a dinnerware set. Keep it low enough to see across and let its material do the work.

    How should a luxury bowl be cared for? 

    To care for a luxury bowl, wash it gently by hand, dry it at once, and keep crystal and gilded pieces clear of the dishwasher's heat; serving pieces sit under serveware. Store bowls with a soft cloth between them and follow the care appropriate to the material and finish.
