Half Charred Ashwood Nesting Bowl Set
$98.00
A set of three nesting bowls hand-carved from solid ashwood, half-charred so the grain darkens toward black and the texture rises under your hand. The three graduated sizes nest for storage.
Key Features
- Material: solid ashwood, individually carved
- Finish: half-charred surface, sealed with food-safe oil
- Set: three graduated, nesting sizes
- Care: hand wash with mild soap, do not soak, re-oil now and then
- Origin: made in a studio in Ukraine
Because the finish is oil-sealed rather than a hard lacquer, it needs occasional re-oiling and should never go in a dishwasher, unlike glazed stoneware. That trade-off keeps the charred texture visible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many bowls come in the set?
The set includes three bowls in graduated sizes, carved individually from solid ashwood. They are built to nest inside one another, so the full set stores as a single stack rather than three separate pieces taking up extra shelf space.
What does "half-charred" mean here?
Half of each bowl's surface is charred, which darkens the wood grain toward black and raises its texture slightly. It is a traditional wood-finishing technique, not paint or stain, so the natural grain underneath stays visible through the darkened surface.
How do I clean and care for them?
Hand wash with mild soap and avoid soaking, since the finish is a food-safe oil seal rather than a hard lacquer or glaze. Re-oiling the wood occasionally keeps the surface protected and the charred texture looking its best over the years.
Are they dishwasher safe?
No. Because the bowls are oil-finished solid wood rather than glazed stoneware, they should be hand washed only and never soaked or run through a dishwasher, which would strip the oil finish and risk warping or cracking the wood over time.
Where are they made, and does the purchase support anything else?
Each set is carved in a studio in Ukraine, and part of every sale supports Ukrainian refugees. Because each bowl is individually carved and charred rather than machine-turned or stamped from a template, every set that ships is genuinely one of a kind.
