The "Artisan Ink" Spalted Ash Chips & Dip Set

Transform your next gathering into a gallery showing with our Spalted Ash Chips & Dip Bowl. This 11.25-inch masterpiece showcases the breathtaking "ink-line" spalting that occurs naturally in aged ash wood, creating a high-contrast, marbled effect that no paintbrush could ever replicate.

At 11.25 inches wide and 2.5 inches high, this bowl offers a vast landscape for your favorite snacks, paired with a sleek, modern silhouette that sits low and elegant on your table.

Why It’s a Standout Piece

• Nature’s Calligraphy: The "spalting" refers to the dramatic black lines and smoky grey washes etched into the creamy ash grain. Every bowl features a completely unique, natural "map" of lines.

• The Perfect Hosting Duo: Each set includes a removable white ceramic ramekin that nests perfectly in the center. Prepare your dip ahead of time, chill it, and drop it in just as your guests arrive.

• Generous Proportions: With an 11.25-inch span, this is our most spacious chips and dip option—ideal for large gatherings, family movie nights, or holiday spreads.

• Buttery Smooth & Food Safe: Hand-sanded to a fine grit and finished with a 100% food-safe mineral oil and beeswax blend, ensuring your snacks stay fresh and your bowl stays protected.

Care & Maintenance

Pro Tip: While the ceramic ramekin is a modern workhorse, the spalted ash is a natural treasure. Treat it with a little extra care to preserve those stunning black lines.

• The Wood Bowl: Hand wash only with mild soap and warm water. Wipe dry immediately. Never let it soak, as ash is a porous wood that can warp if left damp.

• The Ceramic Insert: This part is easy! It’s dishwasher, microwave, and even oven safe.

• Hydration: Every few months, apply a thin coat of food-safe butcher block conditioner to the wood to keep the spalting vibrant and the grain supple.

• The Rules: Keep the wooden portion far away from the dishwasher and microwave.

Rare. Rugged. Refined. Because spalting is a natural process, the bowl you receive will be a 1-of-1 original, featuring a grain pattern that has been years in the making.
