Description
This is a deep stoneware bowl, 13cm across and 7cm tall, with rounded sides that rise to a simple rim. The white glaze is flecked all over with fine speckles, which gives a plain everyday shape a little more character. It holds 475ml, a generous single portion: enough for a proper bowl of cereal, porridge or soup without the bulk of a serving dish. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, so it feels solid in the hand, and at 0.4KG this one has a reassuring weight that sits steady on the table.
Its natural home is the kitchen and the breakfast table. Use it for cereal and yoghurt in the morning, soup or noodles at lunch, and rice, salad or a portion of pudding in the evening. Because it goes in the microwave, leftovers can be reheated in the same bowl that goes to the table, and because it goes in the oven too, it makes an individual dish for a baked crumble or a small gratin. The deep sides keep broths and milky cereals in the bowl rather than on the table, and a few of them make an easy way to put out nuts, olives or crisps for guests.
The bowl is made entirely of stoneware and finished in a reactive glaze, a finish that shifts as it fires, so the speckling varies a little from one bowl to the next. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it can move from cooking to the table to the wash without a change of dish. For styling, the quiet white sits happily on almost any table: stack a few on an open shelf so they are close at hand, or set them on wood and linen for a relaxed, layered look.

Frequently Asked
What is the bowl made of?
It is made entirely of stoneware, a hard, dense ceramic, and finished in a white reactive glaze with fine speckles.
Can it go in the dishwasher and the microwave?
Yes. The maker states that it goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and in the oven as well.
How big is it and how much does it hold?
It is 13cm across and 7cm tall and holds 475ml, a generous single portion of cereal, soup or porridge.
Can I bake in it?
Yes. It goes in the oven, so it works as an individual dish for a crumble, a small gratin or baked eggs.
Does every bowl look exactly the same?
Not quite. The reactive glaze shifts in firing, so the fine speckling varies a little from one bowl to the next.
