The natural edge is done in such a clever way that it looks is if it was lined with the lighter line along the edge. This compination of colors gives the bowl a rather unusual look. Feels very smooth to a touch and can be used as both a bowl or a basket for smaller objects like keys. Suitable for use in the kitchen with food as it has only been polished with natural oil (NOT! industrial oil) Please, do not hesitate to ask any questions or request additional pictures! The measurements are 6x7" The height is 5"
