This gorgeous bowl is for decoration. It cannot be used for food or liquids of any kind. (I use my own bowl to hold car keys and my step counter) It is handmade from polymer clay and does not have a ceramic interior. The entire bowl is polymer clay. I used plain pearl polmer then imprinted the inside with a Hawaiian leaf design. Yep, I snitched the leaves from our condo garden. Bad me. ;). The area around the leaves and the bottom of the bowl are all textured. The color comes from alcohol inks which are used to give depth and glorious color. The entire bowl is then sealed with a protective museum wax finish. Again, this bowl is not for food or liquid! It's a perfect gift for yourself or a friend. It measures 6 1/2" across the top and stands 2 inches tall.
