Faberge Xenia bowl, 11.5 cm (16166) blue

The Faberge Xenia bowl, 11.5 cm (16166) blue, is made of blue crystal by hand at the Hungarian Ajka Crystal manufactory as part of a collaboration with the Faberge brand. The 11.5 cm height makes the bowl versatile: it is noticeable in the serving, but does not overload the composition. The key detail of the design is diamond—cut: wide vertical wedges are completed with round through—the-wall medallions ("Faberge eyes") that refract light and create a delicate optical effect, as if glare or sparkling crystals are running across the surface. The rich blue shade of the crystal adds solemnity to the setting and effectively contrasts with the color of the products and the overall design of the table. The bowl is appropriate in both classical and modern serving, emphasizing attention to detail. It can be used not only for serving (desserts, berries, snacks, nuts, sweets), but also as an independent decorative or collector's item. To preserve the transparency and luster of the crystal for a long time, you should wash the bowl by hand, avoid abrasives and sudden temperature changes.
