The Story
The Burma bowl is tightly hand-woven rattan in a whitewashed finish, with a weave that spirals out from the center. A clear glass insert sits inside, so you can serve salad or fruit without the food touching the rattan.
At about 10.75 inches across and 4.25 inches deep, it's a good everyday size for a kitchen island, and it looks just as good empty on a shelf.
Design Function
A woven rattan serving bowl with a removable glass insert, for salads and fruit or as a textured bowl on its own.

The Woven Serving Standard
The glass insert lifts out for serving and washing, so the rattan stays dry. Rattan is natural, so tone and weave vary a little from bowl to bowl.
How to Style It
- Fill it with lemons on the kitchen island.
- Serve salad in the glass insert.
- Set it on a dining table with a rattan tray.
- Leave it empty on open shelving for texture.
- Pair it with a glass pitcher on an outdoor table.

Mel’s Styling Take
A bowl of lemons in this looks deliberate with almost no effort. The whitewashed weave keeps the kitchen light, and I like the glass insert for salads when people come over. Put it next to clear glass so the textures play off each other.
Pairs Well With
- 16" Palawan Large Whitewash Rattan Bowl: a larger whitewash rattan bowl repeats the weave at a bigger scale.
- Whitewash Mango Wood Serving Tray, 3 Sizes: a whitewashed mango wood tray stays tonal and adds wood grain.
- Bubble Glass Pitcher: a clear bubble glass pitcher brings shine next to the woven texture.
- Marble and Wood Cheese Board: a marble and wood board adds stone to the serving spread.
- 13.75 Inch Bowie Dark Brown Fitted Mango Pedestal Bowl: a dark brown pedestal bowl in mango wood gives the whitewashed rattan strong contrast.
Good to Know
- The glass insert lifts out.
