Addison Brown Speckled Stoneware Bowls 16cm Set of 3 - Multi

This is a set of three stoneware bowls, each 16cm across and 8cm tall and holding 700ml, finished in a speckled reactive glaze. Each bowl carries its own glaze, so the three sit together as a multicoloured group rather than a matching row. At 700ml, these are generous everyday bowls: the size for a full portion of soup, ramen, porridge or a grain salad, with room left to stir. The deep, rounded sides keep food in the bowl and make them comfortable to hold in two hands.

They belong on the kitchen table first: breakfast cereal and yoghurt in the morning, a noodle broth or a curry with rice in the evening. Because they can go in the oven, they also suit baked puddings, crumbles or a quick gratin served straight to the table. The microwave reheats leftovers in the same bowl in which you serve them. For a relaxed supper with friends, set them out as sharing bowls for salads, dips, olives or roasted vegetables, and the varied glazes give the table interest without any extra effort. They suit a family kitchen, a first home or anyone who wants a few good bowls that see daily use.

Stoneware is fired hard and dense, which makes it sturdy for daily use and good at holding warmth. The reactive glaze shifts as it fires, so the speckling falls differently on every piece and no two bowls come out quite alike. Each one stands on a small foot that lifts it from the table. Care is simple: they go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so there is no hand washing needed after a busy evening. We like them lined up on an open shelf where the mix of glazes shows, or paired with plain plates so the speckle becomes the focal point of the table.

How big are the bowls?

Each bowl is 16cm across and 8cm tall and holds 700ml, a good size for soup, noodles, cereal or a main-course salad.

Can they go in the dishwasher and the microwave?

Yes. The maker lists the bowls as suitable for both the dishwasher and the microwave, so reheating leftovers and cleaning up are easy.

Can I use them in the oven?

Yes, they can go in the oven, which makes them handy for baked puddings, crumbles or individual gratins brought straight to the table.

What are they made of?

They are 100% stoneware with a reactive glaze. Stoneware is a dense, hard-fired ceramic that suits everyday use and holds warmth well.

Do all three bowls look the same?

No. Each bowl has its own speckled reactive glaze, so the three form a multicoloured group, and the speckle varies from piece to piece.
