Addison Stoneware Bowls 16cm Set of 3 - Green

This is a set of three stoneware bowls, each 16cm across and 8cm tall and holding 700ml. A reactive glaze gives every bowl a surface of its own. Two of the three are green: one deep and glossy with darker streaks, the other softer, with a fine speckle drifting across it. The third carries a lighter speckled glaze that sets off the green. Stoneware is fired at high temperature, which makes it dense and hard-wearing, and 700ml makes these generous bowls, deep enough for a full portion rather than a side dish.

These are everyday bowls for the kitchen table: porridge or cereal in the morning, soup or a bowl of noodles at supper, rice, a grain salad or a heap of fruit when friends visit. The size suits one person's main bowl, and because the glazes differ, everyone at the table can tell whose is whose. They stack neatly, so all three take little room in a cupboard or on an open shelf, and the mix of glazes looks considered on a dresser without matching exactly. As a gift for someone setting up a first home, they cover breakfast and dinner alike.

Each bowl is 100% stoneware under a reactive glaze. This finish moves and pools in the kiln, so no two pieces come out quite alike; the streaks and speckles are part of the character, not flaws. Each sits on a low foot that lifts it neatly from the table. Care is simple: they go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so leftovers can be reheated in the bowl itself. For styling, stack the three with the lighter bowl in the middle so the two greens frame it, or set them out with plain plates and let the glazes do the talking. The styling props shown are not included.

What is the material of the bowls?

They are 100% stoneware, finished in a reactive glaze, so each of the three bowls has its own pattern of streaks and speckles.

Can the bowls go in the dishwasher and the microwave?

Yes. All three go in the dishwasher and the microwave, and they can go in the oven too, which is handy for reheating leftovers.

How big are the bowls and how much do they hold?

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

How many bowls come in the set?

There are three bowls, each with a different glaze: two are green and the third has a lighter, speckled finish.

Do the bowls stack?

Yes, they stack neatly, so all three sit together on a shelf or in a cupboard without taking much room.

Will every bowl match the others exactly?

No. A reactive glaze moves as it fires, so the streaks and speckles vary from bowl to bowl and no two are quite alike.
