POTATO PARCHMENT BOWL
handmade
Potato, You Say?
Yes, these bowls are made from real purple potatoes. Hand built slice by slice by artisan Margaret Dorfman from fresh purple potatoes cured, pressed and aged for several days, these incredible accent bowls are a tasty addition to your home. Named after the translucent surfaces used for writing in medieval Europe, the parchment bowl can hold potpourri or a votive candle, but with its enchanting design and jewel-like colors in teal, turquoise, purple and indigo, it's also vibrantly attractive on its own. Unlike real potatoes, which are quite hardy, these bowls are extremely delicate and must be handled gently. Handmade in California, each is one of a kind, and irregular edges can be trimmed to a desired length. Colors may vary, as seen above. Bowl is finished with non-toxic sealer with a semi-gloss sheen. Protect from sunlight and humidity.
Artist card included.

Margaret Dorfman
Margaret's work is made by hand from over 40 different varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables that are cured, dried, pressed and aged in a 10-14 day process. The translucent parchments that result capture and preserve the jewel-like colors and intricate structures that are characteristic of each fruit or vegetable. She calls this Vegetable Parchment, because the texture and translucency calls to mind the vellum parchments of medieval Europe.
