A useful decorative object can have presence even when it is empty. This large oval teakwood bowl brings a long, organic shape to a table or console, with a built-in handle that makes the silhouette more distinctive. Find a place for it among home decor where the wood grain can stand on its own.

Styling Tips
Let the bowl follow the length of a console or dining table rather than placing it across a narrow surface. A small number of decorative objects can show off the shape better than filling it to the rim. Dried accents or seasonal ornaments provide a change of mood without hiding all of the wood.
On one of our coffee tables, give the bowl enough space that its handle does not project into a walkway or over the table’s edge. Balance it with a lower object or a neat stack of books rather than another large vessel. Nearby lighting can bring out the grain after dark. Treat it as a decorative bowl unless the manufacturer’s product label specifically confirms food-contact suitability; its appearance alone does not establish that it is a serving dish.
Care
- Wipe with a lint-free, dry cloth, working along the wood’s surface.
- Do not soak, immerse, or put in a dishwasher.
- Keep away from standing moisture, direct heat, and prolonged intense sunlight.
- Use a protective layer beneath decorative contents that might stain or scratch.
- Support the bowl from underneath when moving it with contents inside.
