Large storage capacity with an even smaller footprint, practical for small living spaces and as a decorative accent. The upper part, made of cork, serves as a fruit bowl. The lower part is made of ceramic and provides a mini storage space for potatoes, onions, beets, and other root vegetables as well as unripe fruits. The natural properties of cork help keep fruit fresh and edible for longer by keeping pesky fruit flies away. The ceramic base protects the vegetables from light, and together with the insulating properties of the cork lid, it maintains a constant temperature similar to that of a cellar. The three holes in the bottom prevent excessive moisture. The cork lid is water-repellent and easy to clean with a damp cloth.
