crystal bowls

Transparent serving dishes

Crystal bowls are bowls made from crystal—high-quality glass with lead oxide that gives it clarity and resonance.

The term often refers to singing bowls made from crushed quartz crystal, used in meditation and sound therapy.

When struck or rubbed with a mallet, they produce sustained tones believed to promote relaxation: The practitioner circled the room with crystal bowls humming.
