I have been on the hunt to find a beautiful bowl that will make a statement on my kitchen counter.
I’m looking for something that both my husband and I would be happy with (you know, it can’t be too girly), something that we can drop our keys and mail in, something that is versatile, and most importantly, a bowl that can withstand a few scratches—scratches add character.
Meet Jan Barboglio. Jan designs and creates decorative and sculptural iron accessories inspired by historic Mexico.
Each piece is hand worked. The pieces are individually cast or wrought, hammered, sanded and hand finished. Slight irregularities, imperfections, and variations of shading and texture are characteristic of the material and the Old World finishing process that adds to its distinct beauty. Each piece is artistically embossed with her signature stamp, slightly different, and equally unique.
It is a hand carved wooden bowl with 2 forged iron birds and iron handle; handcrafted and finished to resemble an iron that has been endeared for ages. This particular bowl is made in Mexico. The bowl measures 21″w x 21″d x 8″h and costs $495.00.
Forged iron with rectangular oven safe glass insert; handcrafted and finished to resemble an iron that has been endeared for ages.
This piece is also made in Mexico and measures 8.25″w x 8.25″d x 9″h. This is a 2 qt dish and retails for about $209.00.
Jan’s collection is usually sold at Neiman Marcus, but I recently found it on Rain Collection.

I actually just got the bird bowl for a wedding gift, I love it!
I love that bird bowl. I cannot wait to get it. They are all sold out at Neimans right now. But I bet they will get more. Where are you going to put yours?
This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I enjoy seeing websites that understand the value of providing a prime resource for free. I truly loved reading your post. Thanks!
I love these bowls! So beautiful and so very different. Thanks for sharing such great finds.
I own both of these bowls and just love them!!! If Neiman Marcus is out of stock, Rain Collection is definitely a great place to go. I’ve ordered with them before and was very impressed with their customer service.
