Love it so much, I ordered a second one!
Review by Mary K. on 30 Nov 2024 review stating Love it so much, I ordered a second one!
The wide, shallow bowl is really fantastic. The cream color matches my kitchen nicely, the wide cork top easily contains lots of fruit without fear of metal wires digging into the flesh like most fruit baskets, and the porcelain bottom keeps both onions and garlic - and their skins - contained without a huge mess beneath.
My only issue? As a family of five that eats lots of fresh fruit and mostly food made from scratch, there isn't enough room for all of our counter top produce. I've ordered the tall, narrow bowl to set on the counter nearest the rangetop to hold garlic and onions below and tomatoes on top, freeing this one to hold potatoes within and fruit on top. :-)

Looks great but doesn’t hold much on top.
Review by Mary B. on 18 Feb 2024 review stating Looks great but doesn’t hold much on top.
The blue fruit storage bowl is a beautiful, almost dark teal color, and very well made. It adds a pop of color in my grey/white kitchen. I’m a bit disappointed that due to the rim on the bamboo top, the actual area on top that can store fruit is much smaller than I need. It is only 8 inches in diameter and a bunch of bananas takes up the whole space!

I don’t mind it on my counter
Review by Jenn C. on 24 Jan 2024 review stating I don’t mind it on my counter
Love this bowl!! I don’t like countertop clutter but don’t mind this stylish and functional bowl sitting out. It seems to have reduced the smell of ripening bananas from overwhelming the kitchen and help them to last longer. Wish the cork part was slightly deeper but overall, worth the cost!

Beautiful & Functional
Review by Stacey K. on 17 Dec 2023 review stating Beautiful & Functional
Beautifully made, and wonderfully functional. The cork is solid and easy to lift for access to the bowl. The bowl has three purposely designed ventilation holes that are perfectly placed so onion, garlic, and shallot skins will not fall through every time you move the vessel. The large size is very nicely sized.

This beautiful red bowl surpassed my expectations. It’s so nice to be able to store fruits and veggies in one place without them interacting with each other. The 5 qt size is perfect for the two of us and it looks very cool in my white/ grey/black kitchen. I bought it on sale but don’t wait, it’s worth the full price!

This really is beautiful and easy to use. It does take up a large spot on my counter, which is annoying. After using it for a week I’m not sure how it could be that much smaller. It holds all the stuff I want it too. Now to find its permanent spot.
