FAQs
What makes the Lidia Bowl historically important?
The Lidia Bowl is significant because it won the Compasso d’Oro award in 1955 and introduced Umberto Nason's innovative reversed cased glass technique, a hallmark of NasonMoretti's design philosophy.
Can I use the bowl for serving food?
While made of glass, it's primarily a decorative art piece. If you intend to use it for serving food, handwash it with mild soap and water and ensure it's fully dry afterward. Confirm the glass is food-safe for direct contact.
How should I clean the geometric pattern?
Clean the entire bowl, including the pattern, with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the glass surface or the pattern's integrity.
What does 'reversed cased glass technique' mean?
This technique, as pioneered by Umberto Nason, involves creating a bold colored interior within a contrasting exterior, essentially reversing the traditional method where color is often applied to the outside.
Is this bowl dishwasher safe?
No, the NasonMoretti Lidia Bowl is not dishwasher safe. The high heat and harsh detergents can damage the glass and its finish. Handwashing is strongly recommended.
What are the dimensions of the bowl?
Specific dimensions are not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer's product page for exact measurements.
Where is NasonMoretti based?
NasonMoretti is a renowned glassmaker based in Murano, Venice, Italy.
