FAQs

What makes the Lidia bowl historically important?

The Lidia bowl holds historical significance as it was designed by Umberto Nason and won the prestigious Compasso d’Oro award in 1955, marking a milestone for NasonMoretti and Venetian glass design.

What is the 'reversed cased glass technique'?

This technique, pioneered by Umberto Nason for the Lidia bowl, involves creating a bold, coloured interior that is then encased in a contrasting outer layer, typically milky white in this case.

Is this bowl food safe?

While made of glass, the Lidia bowl is primarily intended as a decorative art piece. It is not specifically designed or recommended for direct food consumption or preparation.

How should I clean the red interior?

The cleaning method is the same for the interior and exterior. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water, then pat dry immediately with a clean, lint-free cloth.

Can I put the bowl in a dishwasher?

No, the bowl is not dishwasher safe. The harsh detergents and high temperatures can damage the glass and its finish. Handwashing is the recommended method.

Are there other colours available?

The 'Lidia' design has been produced in various colour combinations throughout its history. This guide specifically addresses the 'Red' variant with a milky white exterior.

What are the dimensions of the small Lidia bowl?

Specific dimensions can vary slightly due to the handmade nature of the product. However, 'small' typically indicates a compact size suitable for accent display.

Troubleshooting

Surface smudges or fingerprints

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, use a glass cleaner sparingly on the cloth, not directly on the bowl.

Visible imperfections (e.g., small bubbles)

Minor imperfections such as tiny air bubbles are characteristic of handmade glass and are not considered defects, but rather a mark of its artisanal origin.

Chipped edge

If a chip occurs, please handle with extreme care as the edge may be sharp. Contact the retailer or NasonMoretti for advice on potential repair or replacement options, though repairs are often not feasible for decorative glass.
