Caviar Bowls & Servers

A caviar server does one simple job: it keeps caviar cold at the table. Caviar that is too warm loses its flavour, while caviar that is too cold can freeze, so the best servers hold the tin or dish just above a bed of crushed ice. They also look very handsome in the middle of the table, which is half the pleasure of serving caviar properly. The Hand-Blown Glass Caviar Bowl is the simplest choice. It is a conical dish 10.5cm across, with no corners for the eggs to hide in, that sits neatly on top of a bowl of crushed ice. It holds about 75 to 150g of caviar, enough for three to six people, and costs £28.50, which makes it a sensible first server. The Silver Plated Caviar Bowl with Glass Insert is a quality server without the £800 to £1,000 price tag. Made exclusively for our supplier in silver plated brass, the 16cm bowl takes crushed ice and holds a glass insert, 9cm across and about 4cm deep, suspended on a wire frame above it. It is also part of the Beluga Caviar & Beluga Vodka Gift Box. The William Yeoward Caspia Crystal Caviar Server, 14.5cm, holds 50 to 125g of caviar and comes with a large mother of pearl serving spoon. Its inner bowl sits on crushed ice, and it works just as well for other seafood starters. To care for any server, wash it by hand in warm soapy water, dry it with a soft cloth and keep silver plate and crystal out of the dishwasher.
