Perfect Summer Entertaining! Fruit Bowls & Pretty Traps
Summer gatherings are all about fresh fruit, outdoor dining, and creating memories - not swatting at pesky insects! At Ladybird Ceramics, we've crafted the perfect pairing for your seasonal entertaining.
The Summer Entertaining Dilemma
We've all been there: you've arranged a beautiful spread of summer berries, cherries, and other delectable fruits for your guests to enjoy, only to find unwanted visitors buzzing around your carefully curated platters. Nothing disrupts a lovely afternoon quite like fruit flies making themselves at home alongside your refreshments.
Our Elegant Solution: Beauty Meets Functionality
At Ladybird Ceramics, we believe practical solutions should never sacrifice style. That's why we've designed two complementary pieces that work in harmony to keep your summer entertaining both beautiful and bug-free:
The Berry Bowl: Fresh Fruit's Best Friend
Our Large Berry Bowl isn't just a stunning piece of handcrafted pottery—it's engineered for optimal fruit freshness. The thoughtfully designed drainage holes allow water to drain away after washing, while air circulation from below keeps your berries, cherries, grapes, and even tomatoes at their peak freshness. Each bowl comes with a matching plate to catch any moisture, making it perfect for both countertop display and refrigerator storage.
Each 13 oz bowl stands 4" high with an 8" diameter—the perfect size for summer gatherings—and features Tammy's signature hand-painted seasonal designs that bring a touch of artisanal charm to your table.
The Mushroom Fruit Fly Trap: Functional Garden Art
Our Hand-Painted Ceramic Mushroom Fruit Fly Trap is where whimsy meets practicality. These charming mushroom-shaped traps don't look like pest control—they look like delightful garden sculptures that complement your summer tablescape.
Each piece is meticulously hand-painted with delicate floral patterns and playful garden creatures—bees, dragonflies, and ladybugs dance across the surface, creating a cohesive nature-inspired aesthetic that pairs perfectly with our berry bowls.
The trap operates on a simple principle: fill the base with apple cider vinegar, and the scent naturally attracts fruit flies. Once they venture inside, they remain trapped—keeping your entertaining spaces clean and guest-friendly. At 4¾" high with a 4⅜" diameter, these traps are substantial enough to be effective but dainty enough to blend seamlessly with your summer decor.
The Perfect Pairing for Summer Entertaining
When used together, our Berry Bowls and Fruit Fly Traps create the ultimate summer entertaining system:
-
Presentation Perfection: The vibrant hand-painted designs on both pieces create a coordinated look that elevates your table setting.
-
Practical Protection: Place a fruit fly trap near your berry bowl to create a protective perimeter around your fresh fruit.
-
Conversation Pieces: Both pieces spark joy and conversation—guests are always delighted to discover that these beautiful ceramics are as functional as they are beautiful.
-
Sustainable Solutions: Unlike disposable fruit fly traps or plastic berry containers, our ceramic pieces are eco-friendly, reusable, and built to become cherished items in your home for years to come.
