Animal Farm Turtle Bowl - Amber

A little whimsy, a lot of elegance—handcrafted glass bowls where turtles shimmer beneath the surface.

There is a quiet joy that lives inside the Ichendorf Animal Farm Amber Turtle Bowl. Designed in Italy by Alessandra Baldereschi, it brings a touch of humor and poetry to the table, where playful turtles appear to peek from transparent surfaces as if caught mid-motion. With its rounded form and amber tones, this design invites touch, light, and laughter to mingle naturally.

Entirely handmade and flame-worked from borosilicate glass, each piece is unique, carrying the trace of the artisan’s hand in every curve and contour. The glass offers a luminous transparency that enhances the small sculpted figures within, transforming the bowl into both functional object and miniature artwork. Intended for alimentary use, it is also dishwasher safe at low temperatures (104 °F recommended), ensuring that its delicate beauty can be enjoyed daily. Baldereschi’s approach to design is poetic yet grounded: creating joy without ever abandoning utility. Whether used for snacks, fruits, appetizer or desserts, this playful bowl celebrates individuality within harmony.

For admirers of poetic design, our Animal Farm Turtle Bowl embodies the joy of Italian design: an everyday object elevated by creativity and storytelling.  Every detail of this bowl expresses balance between nature and design. The handmade glass shimmers in the light, revealing subtle reflections that change with each use. At home on a festive table or as a decorative accent, it reminds us that playfulness and elegance can coexist.
