Description
This is a round glass bowl with a marbled swirl of green running through it, finished at the rim with a deeper band of green. It measures 21.5cm across and 7.5cm tall and holds 1800ml, which makes it a serving bowl rather than one for a single portion: wide enough for a salad for the table, deep enough for pasta or a heap of fruit. The swirl gathers towards the centre of the base, so looking down into the bowl you see the pattern turn, while from the side the low, rounded wall shows the green drifting in long bands. It is made of 100% glass and weighs 0.9KG.
We would put it at the centre of a kitchen or dining table, where its size suits sharing: a green salad, roast potatoes, a pile of pears or apples, or bread rolls for a Sunday lunch. Because glass lets light through, the marbling comes alive on a table by a window, and between meals it is pretty enough to leave out on a dresser shelf or kitchen counter with a few lemons or pears in it. It suits anyone who likes their serving pieces on show rather than hidden in a cupboard, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a new home.
The finish is colour-dyed, and the marbling is soft and cloudy rather than sharp-edged. It goes in the dishwasher, but it is not for the microwave or the oven, so warm food is best cooked in another dish and moved into it to serve. Glass does not hold on to smells or stains, which matters for a bowl that might carry a garlicky dressing one day and fruit the next. Pair it with plain white or cream tableware so the swirl stays the focus, or raise it on a cake stand on a sideboard, where the deeper green rim draws a neat line.
