{"product_id":"dry-fruit-bowl-set-with-tray","title":"Dry Fruit Bowl Set with Tray — 7 Piece","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree deep bowls, three spoons and a tray they all sit on — seven pieces of German Silver, chased by hand and boxed in red velvet. It is the set that comes out for dry fruits at Diwali, mukhwas after dinner, and supari and elaichi when someone drops in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe tray is sized for the bowls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis sounds obvious and usually is not. The three bowls sit on the 11-inch tray in a row with the spoons beside them, which means the whole thing travels from kitchen to table in one hand and comes back the same way. A bowl set without a tray is three trips and three rings on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tray has a beaded rim standing proud of the surface, so it holds things on rather than letting them slide, and the floor is etched edge to edge — it is worth looking at empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe chasing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bowl is worked over its entire outside and inside with a field of flower medallions inside a scalloped rim, and the same hand runs down the spoon handles. Hold two bowls side by side and the pattern lands slightly differently on each. That is a chisel, not a press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowls of the spoons are left plain and polished — a chased spoon bowl looks better in a photograph and is worse to eat from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBowls\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3.5 inch across, three of them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpoons\u003c\/strong\u003e — 4.5 inch long, three of them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTray\u003c\/strong\u003e — 11 inch by 5 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven pieces in total.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowls are a serving size, not a katori for a full portion — right for almonds, pista, kishmish, mukhwas, chocolates, or a spoonful of halwa alongside a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eServing from it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGerman Silver is non-reactive and food safe, and this is a set we would use ourselves.

There is no silver in it — the name describes the colour, not the content, which is why a seven-piece set with this much hand-work on it costs what it costs. There is no gold polish anywhere here; it is the bare alloy throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand wash only\u003c\/strong\u003e — warm water, mild soap, soft sponge.
