Turio Brass Bowl, Set of 2

This set is primarily designed as a decorative accent and functional centerpiece. Because it features an antique brass finish over cast aluminum, we recommend using it for decorative purposes—such as holding wrapped candies, orbs, or dried botanicals—rather than direct contact with unpeeled fruit or prepared food. For a functional but safe display, consider using a cloth liner or placing fruit with rinds (like lemons or oranges) inside.

Given their impressive 31-inch width and minimalist design, these bowls serve as a sophisticated centerpiece for long dining tables or entryway consoles. You can style them as a nesting set for a layered look or use them individually to create a cohesive theme across a room. They work beautifully as "catch-alls" for oversized natural elements like driftwood or large seashells to lean into a coastal aesthetic, or they can stand alone as sculptural art pieces.

Cast aluminum offers a unique combination of lightweight versatility and high-end durability. Unlike iron or steel, aluminum is naturally rust-resistant, making it an excellent choice for long-lasting decor. The "cast" process allows for intricate, sculptural details and sleek, minimalist silhouettes that maintain their structural integrity without the heavy weight of solid brass or stone.

Yes, these bowls are specifically designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Because they are constructed from cast aluminum, they are exceptionally well-suited for humid or coastal climates where salt air can often corrode other metals. While the antique brass finish is resilient, we recommend placing them in a covered outdoor area or bringing them inside during extreme weather to preserve the vintage luster of the finish.

These bowls are uniquely designed to transition from tabletop to wall. To hang them, you can utilize standard plate hangers or sturdy wall-mounted brackets designed for deep-profile objects. When mounted, their elongated shape creates a striking horizontal or vertical shadow line, transforming the bowls into a three-dimensional modern wall sculpture.

Based on our expertise with metal finishes, we recommend a low-maintenance cleaning routine to protect the antique patina. Simply wipe the surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then dry immediately with a clean towel. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, brass polishes, or abrasive sponges, as these can strip the delicate finish and dull the vintage glow of the aluminum.
