Is the interior of this bowl rough like a good antique salad bowl, or smooth like modern salad bowls?

The bowl is unfinished wood which has been sanded but it is not a polished finish like the more modern bowls.

It is a little rough because the bowl does not have any finish on it. It had been sanded smooth but needs to be oiled after cleaning each time inside & out. It is raw wood. I love it by the way. It is exactly what I wanted.

Very nice bowls. The interior is smooth, but not perfect. If you were going to use it for a craft project you might want to go over it with a fine grit.

Not a heavy user but bowl is fine. Also had a first gen., used a lot, had more problems with the base getting cracks. Original bowl still in use (my son has it). It is yellowed but has never cracked.

The mesh is not smooth, so it may feel rusty but mine was not actually rusty at all. The handle definitely looks aged. I was very happy with the antique feel of it but I guess it's not for everyone. As far as what the other person said about breakage, I overstuff mine on a regular basis and have had zero issues

I honestly don't remember since I wrapped it for a gift. However, I don't believe it was. Typically wooden salad bowls are not finished because they are used for food. Usually you just use vegetable or olive oil on them and wipe them out with a cloth.

Hi Judith, The bowl is magnetic, that means it is not solid copper. However, if is was it would need to be thicker to prevent dents and a lot more expensive.

The bowl is smooth with no ridge to help keep anything in. HOWEVER, this is the perfect pasta bowl for us hearty eaters. Or a vegetable bowl for your healthy eaters!

Yes, they are completely smooth on the inside. These are great bowls...would buy them again.

The bowl does not have a smooth interior finish. The interior has a non glazed surface. Small amounts of my crushed calcium pills do stick to the interior surface of the bowl

It is smooth. I had my last set of Corelle for over 20 yrs. The only reason I got a new set was for a change in color. These are great plates, especially with little ones in the house ( no worries of breaking).

The hammered pattern is on the outside of the bowl. The inside is is smooth. I got this for a gift for someone else but fell in love with it and put it on my wish list. You won't be sorry if you get it.

The inside is a black coated I'm thinking porcelain. It is not too thick but I don't think it will rust i haven't had mine for too long but seems to be sturdy for the size it is.

No the outside is the shinier part of the dish, and on the inside its that rougher type of material that makes the dish. the inside is like a ivory color and the ouside is the bright wihite. I love this dish becuase my grandma used this for her pies and I can keep up the tradition now. It is so hard to find a good dish at big box chain stores but i absolutely love this dish! Hopefully this helps and you iwll love it as much as I do!

Hi Sharlee, I found this bowl to be a bit squishier (softer) then the Aladdin silicone bowls. So, if I was taking soup; I'd choose the Aladdin & use this one for salad or cereal. Hope this helps

We have not stained the bowl. But its original finish is absolutely beautiful and typically the bowl is used daily to serve salads containing various oil and vinegar dressings serving five family members. No staining or color discoloration has occurred. The bowl is as new looking as the first time we have used it. The bowl has been used daily for over one year.

If you are talking about the inside of the solid bowl then....It looks like it, but can't swear to it...I just rinse and wipe it out with a dry towel...use it frequently, very happy with it. Have a Great Christmas if you Celebrate it...or Happy Holidays...

There are no ridges on the inside or outside of the bowl. This is a wonderful and strong bowl. I recommend it highly.Feel free to ask any other question you may have.

Yes, they are smooth on the inside. The ribbing is only on the outside of the bowl.
