Product Information

Full details

This set of two HAY Barro bowls is designed for those who appreciate warm, rustic elegance and functional craftsmanship in their kitchen and table settings. The key benefit is their versatile use, from serving dishes to decorative pieces, adding a touch of refined simplicity. A potential caveat is that terracotta, while durable, may require specific care to maintain its finish over time. The Barro bowls are crafted from durable terracotta and feature a low, scooped design with a rolled edge, finished in a high-gloss red glaze, blending traditional Portuguese material with modern aesthetics.

FAQs

Are the HAY Barro Bowls food safe?

Yes, the HAY Barro Bowls are designed for food use and are made from food-safe terracotta with a glazed finish.

Can I put the Barro Bowls in the dishwasher?

While made of durable terracotta, hand-washing with mild soap and warm water is recommended to best preserve the high-gloss glaze and prolong the life of the bowls. Check manufacturer recommendations for specific dishwasher suitability.

Are these bowls microwave safe?

No, the Barro Bowls are not microwave safe due to their terracotta material and glaze.

What does 'Barro' mean?

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

What are the dimensions of the bowls?

The product description does not specify exact dimensions, but they are described as having a low, scooped design.

Can I use these bowls for hot food?

Yes, they are suitable for serving hot food, but they should not be heated in a microwave or oven. Allow hot food to cool slightly before placing it in the bowl.

How should I store the bowls?

Store the bowls in a dry place. Ensure they are completely dry after washing to prevent moisture issues.

Troubleshooting

Bowl has a slight imperfection or variation in glaze.

This is normal for handcrafted terracotta products and adds to their unique character. Slight variations are not considered defects.

Reddish residue after washing.

This may be due to pigments from certain foods. Wash again with mild soap and a soft cloth, and ensure thorough rinsing and drying.

Bowl feels slightly rough on the unglazed bottom.

This is typical for the unglazed terracotta base. Ensure it is placed on a stable surface to avoid scratching furniture. A felt pad can be applied if desired.
