{"product_id":"twin-bowl-set-with-spoons","title":"Twin Bowl Set, Gold Polish — 6.5 Inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo bowls cast as one piece, with a looping handle at each end and a spoon for each well. Gold polish on the outside, the handles and the rims; chased German Silver left bright inside. Boxed in red velvet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe two-tone is the whole point\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost gold-polish serveware is gold all over and reads as one flat block of colour. This one is split: \u003cstrong\u003ethe outside, the rim beading and the two handles are gold polished, and both wells are left silver\u003c\/strong\u003e — chased with flower medallions inside a scrolling ground, so the pattern sits under whatever you fill it with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical effect is that the food reads against silver instead of disappearing into gold. Almonds, cashews, raisins, mukhwas — all of it shows up better in a bright well than a yellow one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne body, two wells, two handles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a single casting, not two bowls on a stand, so there is nothing to line up and nothing to knock out of place. The two handles loop up from the ends, which means you can lift it across a table with one hand while it is full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe handles are also what makes it 3.5 inches tall\u003c\/strong\u003e — the bowls themselves are shallow. Worth knowing if you were planning to stack anything on top of it, or slide it into a cabinet with a low shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWe sell two twin bowls — this is the gold one\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSame size, same price, genuinely different objects. Thirty seconds now saves a return:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThis one\u003c\/strong\u003e — gold polish on the outside, rims and handles, with the wells left bright, in a red velvet box. Louder on a table, and the gold will wear at the handles over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/twin-bowl-set-german-silver\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe plain German Silver twin bowl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e — one colour throughout, no gold polish at all, chased over every surface, navy velvet box. Quieter, and there is no plated finish to wear off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf it is going straight onto a shelf as a display piece, this one photographs better.

It is not a serving bowl for a dinner table. If you want something with real capacity, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/dry-fruit-bowl-set-with-tray\"\u003eseven-piece dry fruit set with its 11-inch tray\u003c\/a\u003e is the larger option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKeep it dry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis one has a genuine restriction and it is better said plainly than discovered later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry things only.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry fruits, nuts, mukhwas, mishri, saunf, elaichi, chocolates, dried rose petals.

Not elegant, but it works and it saves the finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is German Silver — an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc. There is no silver in it; the name describes the colour, not the content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe gold on this set is a polish over that alloy, not solid gold and not gold plate of any measured thickness.\u003c\/strong\u003e Nearly all of our range has no gold polish at all — this one does, and that changes how you look after it:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry cotton cloth only.\u003c\/strong\u003e No metal polish, no Brasso, no scouring powder, no dish scrubber.

That is normal for a polished finish and it is why the silver wells are the parts doing the work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe silver interiors will darken slowly. That is tarnish, not damage — the \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/care-guide\"\u003ecare guide\u003c\/a\u003e has the method, and the gentle end of it is the only end you should use here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy people give it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the gift that gets used the same evening it arrives — filled with dry fruit and put out for whoever is visiting.
