The bowl is made of melamine and the stainless steel fork has an extra long handle, wide prongs and is slightly bowed at the end especially for piercing or scooping out your last ingredients.  The side handle makes the bowl easy to pick up and can also be used to hold the fork for carrying around. The salad bowl is available in six different colours.

For the third year, Riedel has created a special, limited edition glass to benefit Living Beyond Breast Cancer. The Pink Vinum Rose glass with its soft pink stem and clear bowl will be available beginning May 2007, just in time for rose wine season. "This year we decided to create a rose glass as the interest in and consumption of rose wine has risen and is being enjoyed from the start of spring through Thanksgiving," said Maximilian Riedel, CEO of Riedel Crystal of America.
