Pamau White Bowl

This ceramic bowl features a ruffled edge inspired by the delicate shape of a blooming flower, making it a striking sculptural statement even when left empty. For a more layered look, you can fill its 16-inch wide basin with natural elements like smooth river stones, dried moss, or decorative sea glass. Its significant scale makes it an ideal centerpiece for a large dining table or a focal point on a wide entryway console.

To maintain the bowl’s luster, we recommend dusting the ruffled edges regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For deeper cleaning, our care guidelines suggest using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water, followed immediately by hand-drying. It is important to avoid soaking the bowl or using abrasive chemicals, as moisture can sometimes seep into the fine lines of a crackle finish if left submerged.

This piece is specifically designed as a decorative accent rather than functional dinnerware. While the ceramic construction is durable, the soft white glaze and crackle finish are intended for aesthetic display. If you wish to use it to hold fruit, we recommend choosing items with protective skins—such as lemons, limes, or oranges—to preserve the integrity of the artistic finish.

High-quality ceramic accents sometimes have unglazed bases which can be slightly abrasive. To protect your fine wood coffee tables or sideboards, our experts recommend applying small adhesive felt pads to the bottom of the bowl. This simple addition creates a soft barrier that prevents surface scratches while ensuring the bowl sits securely on your furniture.

Yes, this bowl is exceptionally well-suited for coastal environments. Because it is crafted from high-quality ceramic, it is naturally resistant to the high humidity and salt air typical of coastal regions. Unlike wooden accents that may warp or metal pieces that can corrode in moist air, this glazed ceramic piece will maintain its structure and finish, making it a durable and stylish addition to a beachside or nautical-themed home.

The crackle finish on this bowl provides a sophisticated layer of texture that adds depth to the soft white glaze. By creating a network of fine, intentional lines, this finish gives the piece a "lived-in" vintage charm and character that a flat, solid glaze lacks. This makes it an excellent choice for Coastal or Transitional interiors where subtle, organic textures are a primary design element.
