The LAV Coral Bowl (Model: VIR261) is a vibrant, multi-purpose dessert and snack bowl. While the "VIR261" refers to the Vira line's shape, the "Coral" designation specifically indicates that these bowls feature a colored organic paint finish, typically applied to the base or the entire exterior. ## Technical Specifications Feature Details Model Number VIR261 ( sold as a set of 6) Capacity 310 cc (~10.5 oz) Dimensions Diameter: 120 mm Material Glass with 100% organic paint coating Special Feature Eco-friendly, food-safe coloring ## Design & Use The "Vira" Silhouette: The bowl features a modern, clean-lined shape with a wide rim and a tapered base. It is designed to be both sturdy and elegant, making it a "culinary canvas" for colorful foods. Vibrant Colors: The Coral set usually comes in a mix of 6 different colors (such as blue, purple, pink, orange, green, and yellow). This makes it easy for guests to keep track of their own bowl during a party. Versatile Serving: At 310ml, it is the perfect size for: Desserts: Ice cream sundaes, fruit salads, or puddings. Snacks: Nuts, chips, or candies for a movie night. Breakfast: Yogurt, olives, or jams for a Mediterranean-style spread. Stackable: These bowls are designed to nest comfortably inside one another, saving significant cabinet space. ## Care & Maintenance Organic Paint Protection: Because the color is applied with organic paint, it is highly recommended to hand wash these bowls to keep the colors vibrant. High-heat dishwasher cycles and abrasive detergents can cause the color to peel or fade over time. Avoid Soaking: Do not leave the bowls submerged in water for long periods, as this can soften the organic coating. Microwave Safety: It is generally advised not to microwave painted glassware, as the coating may react to the heat. Fun Fact: The Vira 261 is one of LAV's most exported items because its size is "universal"—large enough for a side salad but small enough for a single scoop of gelato.
