FAQs

What material are the HAY Barro Bowls made from?

The HAY Barro Bowls are made from durable terracotta, a traditional ceramic material known for its earthy qualities.

Are the HAY Barro Bowls dishwasher safe?

While the glaze is durable, hand-washing with mild soap and warm water is recommended to best preserve the finish and longevity of the bowls. Dishwasher use is possible on gentle cycles but not ideal.

Can I use these bowls in the microwave or oven?

No, the HAY Barro Bowls are not microwave or oven safe. They are intended for serving food at room temperature or chilled.

What does 'Barro' mean?

'Barro' means red clay in Portuguese, reflecting the material used in the design and the designer's Portuguese heritage.

How should I clean the bowls if they get stained?

For minor stains, try washing with warm water, mild soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. For tougher stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be carefully applied and rinsed off. Always test cleaning methods in an inconspicuous area first.

What are the dimensions of the bowls in the set?

The specific dimensions can vary slightly by product, but the set typically includes two bowls designed for versatile serving and display. Please refer to the product's detailed specifications for exact measurements.

Is the glaze lead-free?

Yes, the glazes used on HAY products, including the Barro collection, are food-safe and adhere to relevant safety standards, meaning they are free from harmful substances like lead.

Troubleshooting

Bowl has a small chip or crack.

Minor chips can sometimes be smoothed carefully with fine-grit sandpaper if desired, but the bowl should still be handled with care. Significant cracks may render the bowl unsafe for use, especially with liquids.

Color appears dull or faded.

This can happen with prolonged exposure to harsh detergents or dishwashers. Hand-washing and gentle care will help maintain the high-gloss finish. For minor dullness, try a gentle polish with a soft cloth.

White residue or faint marks inside the bowl.

This could be mineral deposits from water or remnants from food. Try a gentle scrub with a non-abrasive sponge and a mild soap, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.

Care:

  1. Washing: Hand wash with warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that could scratch the glaze.
  2. Drying: Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth after washing to prevent water spots and moisture absorption.
  3. Storage: Store in a dry place. Avoid stacking directly on unglazed surfaces of other pottery, as this could cause scratching.
