{"product_id":"acco-stoneware-christmas-bowl-12cm-brown","title":"Acco Stoneware Christmas Bowl 12cm - Brown","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a small stoneware bowl, 12cm across and 4.5cm tall, holding 145ml. Its rim rises and dips in a gentle wave instead of running in a perfect circle, and the inside carries a radiating motif that spreads out from a small centre, rather like a frost pattern. The reactive glaze settles in a rich brown that gathers deeper in the lines of the pattern and lightens towards the foot on the outside. At 0.18KG it sits lightly in the hand, and stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, which suits a bowl meant to be used often.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 145ml to fill, this is a bowl for small things rather than a full serving: a dip or a sauce beside the main dish, cranberry sauce on the Christmas table, salted nuts with drinks, olives, or a few sweets passed round after dinner. Put one within easy reach of each guest and nobody has to stretch across the table. Outside the festive season it earns its place just as well, as a salt pot by the hob, a dish for butter or a little pudding portion at the end of a meal. It suits a kitchen dresser or open shelf too, where the inside motif is on show between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bowl is stoneware throughout, finished in a reactive glaze. A reactive glaze moves and pools as it fires, so no two pieces leave the kiln quite alike, and yours will have its own variation in tone and in how the pattern shows. It goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm a sauce in it, bake a small portion, or simply load it with the plates afterwards. We like one at each place on a linen runner, or several gathered in the middle among pine sprigs and candles, where the glossy glaze catches the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Stoneware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReactive glaze\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e145ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDishwasher safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrowave safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOven safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFood safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.18KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the bowl?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is 12cm across and 4.5cm tall and holds 145ml, so it is a small bowl for dips, sauces, nuts and sweets rather than soup or cereal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it go in the dishwasher and the microwave?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
