Natural Wood Bowl, Round Serving Bowl in 7 Sizes or a Nesting Set of 7

A round bowl made from natural solid wood, with dark swirling grain that runs around the outside and across the inside floor. No two are marked quite the same. It comes in seven sizes, from a small cup-shaped bowl for nuts or a dip to a wide serving bowl for salad or fruit, or as a set of all seven that nest into one stack.

Most serving bowls come out for the meal and go straight back in the cupboard. A wooden one tends to stay out, because the grain is the decoration. A bowl of lemons on the counter or a salad in the middle of the table simply looks warmer in wood than in white china.

The grain is the reason to pick wood

The wood is a warm mid brown with darker chocolate streaks that sweep diagonally around the wall, and some bowls carry a paler honey patch where the lighter outer wood of the log shows through. Each bowl is cut from its own piece. The pattern on yours will be its own, which is what makes a set look collected rather than bought in one box.

The surface is smoothed to a soft, low sheen, so the grain reads clearly without looking varnished. The rim is plain and squared off, the same thickness all the way round. The base sits flat, so the bowl stands steady on a table, a shelf or the counter.

Seven sizes, and each one has a job

The two smallest are deep and almost cup-shaped, the right size for olives, nuts, a dipping sauce or a handful of berries at breakfast. The middle three are rounder everyday bowls for a side salad, chips or a few pieces of fruit on a desk. The two largest are wide and shallow, made for a salad passed around the table, fruit on the counter or bread rolls at dinner.

Each size is sold on its own. The exact figures for every one are in the specifications below, so pick the size against what you plan to fill it with.

A set of seven that takes up the space of one

The full set is one bowl in each of the seven sizes, and every bowl sits inside the next one up. Stacked, the whole set takes the footprint of the largest bowl, so it lives on an open shelf or in one corner of a cupboard. When people come over, you lift out the sizes you need and serve from bowls that match without looking identical.

Set them out for one meal. They rarely go back in the cupboard after that.
