Q & A
As designer Kaj Franck was creating his Kartio glassware collection he was firm about shedding superfluous decoration to create a clean aesthetic, embellished only by gentle color. In admiring Franck’s Kartio Bowls, it is obvious that his sensibilities are right on the mark. Clean and simple lines are the focus of these flawless glass bowls but within their simplicity lies interest and beauty. Perfect for everyday use or for special occasions, Kartio bowls can hold snacks such as candies and nuts or use them to contain dips and sauces.

Very versatile- I use these for cold dessert, salad, and as small serving bowls for appetizers and dips. Kartio clear bowls go really nicely with kartio glasses.

These are very versatile and attractive bowls. We use them for fruit and ice cream. They are also good for smaller servings of cereal.
