Salad grade RootWorks bowls are hand-selected for salad and general serving use. Each piece is inspected to ensure there are no holes or large fissures or knots in the lower half of the bowl so they may be used for salad or other moist food items. These hand-carved wooden bowls are great conversation pieces and are as handy as they are beautiful, and they pair beautifully with our RootWorks #1206 branch-handled servers (Sold separately). Every bowl is unique as they are each carved by skilled artisans balancing the wild grain patterns and natural shapes of the root or stump with the needs of the modern eco-conscious gourmet. With an easy to clean food-safe lacquer finish they are a wonderful addition to home and table.
