Description
This little round dipping bowl is made of ceramic and carries a beaded lines pattern on the inside: a ring of fine blue stripes running down from the rim, each one topped with a neat round dot. Look down into it and the lines fan out like rays around a plain white centre, so a pour of sauce sits in a clean pool framed by colour. The outside is left smooth and white, which keeps the look crisp and lets the pattern take the eye. It measures 7cm across and 3cm tall, a compact size that sits easily beside a plate.
A dipping bowl earns its place at any table where there is something to dunk. Fill it with soy sauce for sushi or dumplings, a little vinaigrette for bread, salsa for tortilla chips or a spoonful of chutney alongside cheese and crackers. It is as handy in the kitchen as a prep bowl for chopped garlic, herbs or spices you want measured out and ready before you start cooking. Away from food, the small round shape makes a tidy spot for rings and earrings on a dressing table or bedside table, or for paperclips on a desk. The blue and white colouring sits happily with plain white crockery as well as other blue patterns, so it slots into a table you already have.
Small and light, it is easy to pass across the table and to tuck into a cupboard or a drawer between meals. For care, we'd suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, good practice that helps keep the blue lines looking bright. Set it beside a platter of dumplings or sushi, or wrap it up as a thoughtful little present, tucked in with a bottle of good soy sauce or a jar of something homemade.
