Addy Stoneware Bowl 12cm - Green

This is a small stoneware bowl, 12cm across and 6cm tall, with a glossy green outside and big hand-decorated flowers spaced around its side. Each flower has five rounded petals, a fine outline and a dot at its centre, so the pattern reads clearly even from across the table. It holds 360ml, which makes it a breakfast bowl rather than a serving dish: the right size for a child's cereal or porridge, yoghurt and fruit, or a handful of snacks. It is made as children's tableware, yet the flowers look just as at home on a grown-up table.

We would put it on the breakfast table in a family kitchen, where it gives a child a bowl of their own that is easy to tell apart from everyone else's crockery. It works just as well for after-school snacks, a few berries or a scoop of ice cream, and for sweets on a birthday party table. Grown-ups need not leave it to the children either: the size suits olives, nuts or a dip beside a weekend lunch, and the flowers bring a cheerful note to otherwise simple everyday dishes.

The bowl is made entirely of stoneware, a dense ceramic that holds heat well, and its flowers are decorated by hand, so the brushwork varies a little from one bowl to the next. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, it can warm porridge or leftovers in the microwave, and it can go in the oven, so a small baked pudding can cook and come to the table in the same dish. For styling, pair it with plain plates and cups so the flowers lead, or line a few along an open kitchen shelf, where the green adds a welcome bit of colour between meals.
