Raas x Olla Bowl: where Quasar meets Italian craftsmanship
The Raas x Olla Bowl was born from the meeting of Quasar's expertise and Olla's Italian artisan know-how. This white clay phunnel bowl is thrown, glazed and fired in Florence in the Italian maiolica tradition. Every piece carries Olla's brushstroke: patterns, shades and slight variations make each bowl a one-off, a reflection of two complementary identities.
White clay designed for heat
Shaped in white clay, the Raas x Olla heats up quickly and evenly. The heat spreads uniformly through the molasses, for a rounded release of flavour and a steady draw from the start of the session to the end. Its phunnel shape, with a central spire, stops the juice running down the stem and keeps the molasses intact throughout the session.
Designed for Quasar Raas heat management systems
This bowl is compatible with the Quasar Raas, Quasar Raas 2 and Quasar Raas 2 Black Hole heat management systems. Its dimensions — 85 mm in diameter by 25 mm high — are calibrated to fit the Raas perfectly, with no aluminium foil. With a 22 g capacity, it is ideal for a session with a reasonable amount of molasses and precise heat control.
Four colourways named after Italy
The Raas x Olla Bowl is available in four hand-painted designs, each named after an iconic Italian place: Italia, Capri, Palermo and Sorrento. Each colourway is shown in the photos. Patterns and shades may vary slightly from one piece to the next: that is the signature of handcrafted production, not a flaw.
How to use it
Fill the bowl with molasses loosely, without packing it down and without going above the rim of the spire, then set the Quasar Raas heat management system directly on top. Let it heat for a few minutes before the first puffs. After the session, let the bowl cool down completely before washing it in lukewarm water; avoid thermal shock and abrasive sponges to protect the glaze.
Who this bowl is for
For enthusiasts who already own a Quasar Raas or Raas 2 and want an exceptional bowl, as high-performing as it is decorative. For connoisseurs with an eye for handcrafted objects, who appreciate a unique piece sitting on their shisha. For shisha bars and lounges wanting to offer a premium bowl and stand out with an object that tells a story.
El-Badia's tip
The Raas x Olla is at its best with the Quasar Raas 2: the system's heat regulation and the clay's thermal inertia complement each other for a long, stable session. Shisha specialists since 1991 and distributor of the leading international brands, El-Badia selects the bowls and heat management systems that make the difference.

The bowl is chosen according to the heating method used. With an aluminium foil setup, most standard bowls will do: flat bowls, Turkish bowls, phunnel or vortex. With a Provost system, a high-rimmed bowl — phunnel type, or flat with a rim — keeps the setup stable and spreads the heat evenly.
The Kaloud Lotus system requires a compatible bowl, such as the Kaloud Samsaris bowls or a bowl whose rim matches its diameter. Chimney-style systems (Brohood, Dragon, Badcha and others) are used with a Turkish clay bowl or a glass bowl such as the Dschinni Nero Glass, whose material withstands the temperature of the coals.
The Quasar Raas system is used with the Quasar bowls designed for its dimensions, in ceramic or glass depending on the model.
The material also affects how the bowl is used: clay is porous and seasons over time, glass is non-porous and easy to clean, silicone is light and unbreakable. Ceramic, glass, silicone and clay bowls are all in the shisha bowls category.
Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your shisha bowl in top shape and ensuring incredible smoke every time. Once your session ends, allow your bowl to cool down before touching it—this prevents thermal shock. Once cool, empty any leftover molasses, then gently clean the bowl with a non-scratch sponge and liquid soap. This method clears molasses residue, tobacco buildup, and lingering odors, no matter if the bowl is made of clay, ceramic, glass, or silicone. For a deeper clean, soak the bowl in warm water with specific cleaner like El-Badia Shisha Cleaner powder or a dash of white vinegar for tough spots. Rinse thoroughly and dry well before the next use.
Avoid rinsing a hot bowl with cold water to prevent cracks. A specialized bowl brush is handy for hard-to-reach spots, and you can find all El-Badia cleaning products for targeted care.
Pro tip: every material needs a little extra attention—never use steel wool on silicone, and use only a soft sponge for glass bowls. Proper care preserves your flavors and guarantees every shisha/hookah session is smooth and hygienic!
