Each individual Dino bowl is handcrafted from steel, featuring a surface similar to that of an ostrich egg with a finely hammered irregular texture, and then polished. The edge is also entirely worked by hand along its jagged line. This requires very delicate fine work, as the craftsman must polish each notch and break the edge. Only after all these preliminary steps can the piece go for nickel plating. The Dino bowl is not only decorative; it can be used to store fruits, nuts, and cookies. However, nickel-plated surfaces are not suitable for salads or moist or acidic foods.
