A classic bowl with spout in modern design. Two spouts offer a solid grip and the hand-worked edge increases the beauty. Versatile bowl for everyday use and parties – as simple as it is exclusive.

“It's great to get people's price given a product that is so simple that a spilkums bowl. I am also glad that Skrufs glasbruk continues dare to invest in appliances and not give in to different trends. Each bowl is unique because they are handmade, says Carina Seth Andersson, designer.”
