Description
This is a round stoneware bowl, 14cm across and 7cm tall, with broad blue stripes painted by hand around the outside. It holds 500ml, a generous everyday size for cereal, porridge, soup or a helping of noodles rather than a little dish for dips. Each stripe runs from the rim down to the base as a single sweep of the brush, so you can see the bristle marks and the small differences in width from one stripe to the next. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and at 0.414KG the bowl has a comfortable weight in the hand.
It suits the breakfast table first of all: morning cereal or yoghurt with fruit, then a bowl of soup at lunch or a side of salad at supper. It can go in the microwave, so leftovers can be warmed in the very bowl from which you eat them. It can also go in the oven, which makes it handy for a single portion of crumble or a small baked pudding. Stoneware holds heat well, a real comfort with warm porridge on a cold morning. The blue stripes sit happily in a relaxed kitchen or a cottage dining room, and a stack of them on an open shelf looks cheerful rather than fussy.
The stripes are painted in a runny glaze, which gives them soft, slightly uneven edges and a gentle sheen. Care is straightforward: the bowl goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it can go from cooking to the table to the wash with no special handling. The styling props shown are not included. For an easy table, set it on a woven or linen mat beside plain stoneware plates, and let the stripes carry the colour for the whole setting.

Frequently Asked
Can this stoneware bowl go in the dishwasher?
Yes. It goes in the dishwasher, and the maker also lists it for use in the microwave and the oven, so everyday washing needs no special care.

Yes, it can go in both. The oven suits a single baked pudding or a portion of crumble, and the microwave is handy for reheating leftovers in the bowl itself.
Are the stripes painted by hand?
Yes. The stripes are painted by hand in a runny glaze, so the brush marks show and each stripe differs slightly in width and edge.

It is 100% stoneware, a dense and hard-wearing ceramic, and it weighs 0.414KG, so it sits solidly in the hand and on the table.
