The Ichendorf Travasi little bowl with olive is a playful, transparent piece that expresses the poetic touch of Astrid Luglio. Part of the Bowls and Salad Bowls family, it transforms a small daily gesture into something light and delightful. At the centre of its design, a tiny green olive appears suspended within the glass, creating a charming detail that brings personality to the table. Its simple silhouette allows it to pair naturally with the shapes and softness of the Ichendorf Cups & Mugs selection, enriching both practical use and decorative arrangements.
A handmade object with a delicate soul
Crafted from hand-made and flame-worked borosilicate glass, the bowl reflects the artisanal precision that defines the entire Travasi collection by Ichendorf. The material gives it a bright, crystalline appearance while maintaining durability and lightness. Subtle variations in thickness and transparency reveal the handmade nature of the piece, making each one slightly unique. Practical for everyday routines, it is dishwasher safe at low temperatures, a detail that preserves its clarity over time. These qualities come together in a piece that balances charm and functionality with ease.
A small form with expressive character
The Travasi bowl is ideal for small servings, like nuts, olives, sauces or miniature desserts, but its visual impact makes it equally suited for purely decorative roles. The presence of the green olive inside the glass adds a note of humour and refinement, making it an inviting addition to table settings or kitchen shelves. This detail echoes the creative approach associated with Astrid Luglio design, where everyday objects are reimagined through colour, light and instinctive gestures.
Its transparency allows it to harmonise with the broader Ichendorf universe, particularly when placed beside tumblers, stem glasses or floral accents from the other collections. Whether used during an aperitivo, arranged on a tray or set near an Ichendorf Footed Plate, the bowl adds a small spark of character while maintaining the calm elegance of minimalist clear glass bowl design.
A collectible accent for modern table settings
Although delicate in appearance, the Travasi bowl is crafted for real use thanks to the resilience of borosilicate glass. Its handmade qualities reflect the spirit of italian designer kitchenware, where detail and craftsmanship meet in balanced forms. The tiny fruit at its centre turns the bowl into a small object of affection: an understated decorative touch that can brighten everyday rituals. For collectors or anyone who appreciates thoughtful design, this decorative small bowl is both a practical accessory and a quiet visual delight.
Light, expressive and timeless, the Travasi bowl with olive captures the warmth of handcrafted glasswork. As a handmade borosilicate bowl that blends charm with function, it becomes a versatile piece for serving, decorating or gifting, embodying the cheerful elegance that defines the Travasi line and the broader world of Ichendorf Milano.
