Carpinus Set of 3 Hammered Aluminum Bowls with Gold Bit Handles

Serve three courses or centerpiece fruit from a nesting trio that stores in one stack.

Carpinus is a nesting set of three hammered aluminum bowls in small, medium and large, each fitted with gold-tone bit-style handles. Use the large bowl for salad at a restaurant family table, the medium for fruit and the small for nuts or condiments.

The dimpled finish catches light and hides fingerprints, and the stacked trio takes up one shelf when not in use. The silver and gold mix leans Glam, and the photos show the bowls nested together as well as spread out. Because the bowls nest, you can set out all three for a buffet and tuck them into a single cabinet shelf afterward.

Where to use it

• Dining room: Set the large bowl in the center of the table for a shared salad.
• Buffet: Line up all three for greens, grains and toppings.
• Restaurant or event: Serve family-style portions with a stack that is easy to store.
• Entry console: Use the medium bowl as a key and mail catch.

Planning notes

The large bowl carries a family salad, the medium suits fruit and the small works for dips. Keep the handles facing outward so guests can reach the contents.

Pair the hammered silver with white marble boards and brass flatware. The Castanea hammered tray carries the same gold-tone bit handles and makes a matching base for the set. For a buffet, put grains or salad in the large bowl, toppings in the medium and nuts or olives in the small, and line them from largest to smallest so guests can serve in order. On a dining table, the large bowl alone makes a bold centerpiece.

Who this is not for

• Not for outdoor use: we recommend it for indoor rooms.
• Not for the dishwasher: hand wash only.
• Not a nesting set for hot dishes: the finish is decorative.

Care

Hand wash with mild soap and dry right away. Buff with a soft cloth to keep the hammered surface bright. Dry the underside well before nesting so water does not sit between the bowls.
