To use this bowl, you can place it on your dining table to hold snacks, nuts, or small fruits. It can also be used as a decorative piece on a sideboard or coffee table. When handling, be gentle as it's a handmade porcelain item. Avoid dropping it or knocking it against hard surfaces. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners as they may damage the hand - painted metallic rims. Store it in a safe place, away from other sharp or heavy objects to prevent scratches and chips.
