The Lookalike List: CB2 Marble Fluted Bowl

ByKaitlin Madden 07/30/202408/13/2024

I come across all sorts of “dupes” or lookalike items in my line of work. And, while I have mixed feelings about copycat designs … I also feel like the people who can’t afford the original version of something won’t buy it anyway, while the people who can afford the O.G. most likely will. So, why not share some more affordable options? I plan to share new products I find every Tuesday, and I’ll link them all on my “Lookalike List” page so you can go back and reference them in case you miss anything.

This week’s lookalike is a bowl that is so trendy I might even venture to call it viral. It’s a scalloped marble bowl that I’ve seen in Julia Marcum of Chris Loves Julia’s study, and in homes by Shea McGee. It’s lovely, but the CB2 version that designers love costs around $300, which is, um, a lot for a bowl. The good news? I’ve found a cheaper version. A couple cheaper versions, actually! The closest match is an Amazon find in the photo, below, but I’ve also listed a few others at the end of the post.
