Types of fruit vases

The kitchen space should combine home comfort and a spacious work surface. Therefore, everything here must be in place. The order in the kitchen helps to create additional little things that perform both decorative and practical functions. These include, for example, a fruit bowl.

A fruit bowl is usually called a fruit bowl. However, you can serve in it not only fresh fruits, but also sweets, cookies and other confectionery products. This is especially convenient if there are children in the house - the kids will not have to reach for the top shelf to get their favorite treats.

An important function of this object is its aesthetic component. Now a wide variety of models is offered, among which you can easily choose the thing most suitable for a particular interior. Fruits in a conspicuous place look very beautiful. You can create whole fruit compositions and serve natural vitamins in this vase to guests at the festive table.

Going to the store for a fruit bowl, you should know that there are several varieties of them. For example, this item can be made from a wide variety of materials, each with its own pros and cons. Let's consider the most popular options.

• Ceramics. The positive side of a ceramic dish will be its beautiful appearance. Such vases look expensive, stylish, suit almost any interior, in addition, they require almost no special care. However, these fruit trays are quite expensive and also somewhat fragile.

• Faience. A budget option. Its cost is affordable for every family. A very common material. Of the minuses of the product, it is worth noting its rather modest appearance, but the faience vase copes well with its direct purpose.

• Wood. Also inexpensive material. The advantage of a wooden fruit bowl is its rather long service life, but it is not suitable for all types of fruits. For example, it is better not to store juicy and soft fruits in it, since the tree easily absorbs moisture.

• Crystal. A material for a noble home, a very refined and elegant piece of furniture. Bright colored fruits look very beautiful in a crystal vase, but it is worth remembering that crystal is rather fragile, so it is better to put such a fruit bowl away from children. Some people prefer to get this thing only during the visit of guests.

• Glass and porcelain. These materials are also fragile, but they look very aesthetically pleasing in any kitchen. A glass fruit bowl is especially suitable for a room made in a classic style. Of the minuses, it is worth noting the expensive price of such dishes. Products made from such beautiful raw materials as Murano glass deserve special attention. This is a very expensive material, and such vases mainly serve as a decorative function. The unique and exquisite bowl will completely transform the place it takes.

• Stainless steel. The advantage of stainless steel dishes is a wide variety of shapes, since this material allows you to make the most unusual shapes and decoration elements. Another plus of such a vase is its increased strength and long service life.

• Plastic. A very practical and convenient thing. Easily washes off juice or pulp that has fallen on the surface, does not break, well suited for a picnic. However, it should be remembered that plastic is very harmful when it comes into contact with food, so it is worth buying dishes with proven environmental and sanitary safety.

• Composite. This product combines several materials at once. Suitable for an unusual style of kitchen interior. The option with a porcelain dish and a chrome rod looks very nice. Another popular variety is the wooden bottom and metal sides.

Fruit trays can also be classified by shape. The stores offer a wide range of the most unusual products in irregular shapes, however, the most common are still the classic options.

• A vase with a leg. It is a dish on a thin but stable support. The wider the bowl, the more fruit the bowl can hold. Being in one container, fruits of different colors look very appetizing and fresh.

• Tiered. The most popular option. Allows you to place a large number of fruits. Most often, two-tiered products are offered, but there are also multi-tiered vases, intended more likely to serve fruit to guests. This shelf is suitable not only for storing fruit, but also for serving sweets or cakes. Thanks to several plates, unusual compositions can be created, in addition, this design significantly saves space on the table.

• Unusual shapes. For the most daring housewives, manufacturers offer fruit bowls in bizarre shapes. It can be a combination of various shapes, as well as extraordinary images, for example, a vase in the shape of an animal, a television plate, a tree on whose branches fruits are placed, wall options.

To achieve the unity of style in the kitchen interior, you should competently approach the choice of any little thing. This also applies to the fruit bowl. Take advantage of a few expert tips on choosing a fruit vase.

• Make sure the look of the cookware matches the overall kitchen design. The item should be in style with the rest of the dishes and interior details. The most preferable option is to create an ensemble of all kitchen utensils and various design elements.
• The choice of product color should be determined by the general style of the kitchen area. If the classics prevail, then it is better to choose dishes of calm shades, combined with the color of the setting.

• It is also important to purchase a bowl that matches the design with other decorative elements in the room. For example, vases, dishes, pots can already be located in the room. The design of the fruit bowl should be in harmony with all these objects so that the composition retains its integrity.
• It is recommended to choose bowls with high sides to prevent fruits and berries from falling out.
• Be guided by the design of the crockery and tea sets displayed on the festive table. For example, a sophisticated porcelain service will not go well with a metal or plastic fruit bowl.
• If the dishes are selected for a children's event, then give preference to plastic. It is safe for both children and the vase itself, and it looks light, beautiful, at ease.
• If you choose a vase on a leg, then it is recommended to purchase a bowl on several supports - this will increase the stability of the dish, because the fruits are rather heavy.

• For a festive table, you should choose a bookcase vase. Fruits of different densities can be placed at different levels so that soft varieties are not injured by harder fruits.This option will significantly save table space, and is also very convenient for guests - all the fruits are clearly visible, they are easy to get out.
• For everyday use, a two-level bowl or a single one on a leg is also suitable. Two or three identical vases on one family table look very nice, but in this case, this table should be long. Buying two different-colored dishes will significantly distort the interior design.
• It is important to study the information about the cookware manufacturers. Currently, Bohemia bowls, porcelain fruit bowls from the Czech Republic, and retro USSR vases are popular.
