Dual Bowls by Kawther Al Saffar
Dual Bowls are irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind castings made with an unexpected combination of two metals. They are affordable art pieces, as well as functional objects, fabricated with unique sand-casting methods developed with Alwafi Foundry in Kuwait.
Dual Bowls have a live finish that will patina naturally with time adding to the beauty of the product. However, they are made of recycled metals and are not food safe. If you would like to use them for dry food, you can cover the surface with any food grade material.
Each bowl is engraved with the company logo on the bottom, and comes packaged in protective sponge, nestled inside a manually made craft box, with a care tag and personalised edition card.
