Retro Ceramic Decorative Fruit Bowl

This Fruit Bowl from Velleora Home Decor is thrown in ceramic with a retro glaze, so it holds a worktop as a decorative object rather than being a wire basket that only earns its place when full.

Ceramic suits fruit better than metal or plastic. It stays cool, which slows ripening slightly, and the solid sides shade the fruit from light - both of which give a bowl of apples or citrus a longer life on a sunny kitchen counter.

Four colour and size options are offered. The wide shallow form keeps fruit in a single layer rather than piling it, which is what causes the bottom layer to bruise and spoil unnoticed. Hand wash it to protect the glaze. Do not store bananas with other fruit in it - they accelerate ripening - and keep the bowl out of direct sunlight.
