Mitla Bowl by Diego Olivero Studio
An organic vessel of light and forest-inspired depth.
The Mitla Bowl is a stunning intersection of ancient inspiration and contemporary sustainability. Handcrafted by master artisans in Guadalajara, Mexico, this piece is a testament to the beauty found in repurposed materials. Its low, versatile profile and deep color palette make it an essential addition to any curated home—whether used for serving, as a sophisticated catch-all, or as a standalone sculptural object.
Named after the historic "place of rest," the Mitla Bowl honors the "People, the Place, and the Process" by turning 100% recycled glass into a luminous work of art.
Design & Aesthetic
The Mitla Bowl is designed to bring a sense of natural tranquility and grounded luxury to your space.
Forest Green Palette: The rich, verdant hue captures the essence of a deep woodland, casting emerald shadows and glowing with a sophisticated, earthy radiance.
Recycled Integrity: Made from 100% recycled glass, the bowl features "seeds"—the tiny, unique air bubbles that serve as the hallmark of authentic, mouth-blown glassware.
Tactile Form: The fluid, organic silhouette reflects the movement of molten glass, ensuring that no two bowls are exactly alike.

Hand Wash Recommended: To preserve the rich Forest Green pigment and the clarity of the recycled glass, clean by hand with lukewarm water and mild soap.

Thermal Care: Avoid exposing the bowl to extreme temperature changes (such as the microwave or oven), as handcrafted glass is sensitive to thermal shock.
