Description
Our Calen bowl is a shallow stoneware bowl, 17cm across and 5cm tall, decorated with a pattern that radiates from the rim inwards. The blue is deepest at the edge and pales in fine streaks toward the centre, so the middle of the bowl stays light and keeps the food centre stage. A fine darker line finishes the rim, and the outside is kept plain, which saves the pattern for the inside, where the eye falls first. It weighs 0.412KG, a comfortable heft for a bowl you will reach for every day.
At 17cm across with low sides, it is a natural size for breakfast cereal, porridge, or yoghurt with fruit, and for a dessert at the end of a meal. It works just as well for a side salad, roasted vegetables or a portion of pasta at a weeknight supper, and the gently flared shape makes the last spoonful easy to reach. Set a few out for a relaxed weekend brunch or a long lunch with friends, or keep a stack in the kitchen cupboard for every day. Because it goes in the oven, it can also carry a crumble or a baked pudding straight to the table.
The bowl is made entirely of stoneware, and its pattern is a printed transfer decoration. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing clay that holds heat well, which suits a bowl meant for daily use. Care is straightforward: it goes in the dishwasher, it can go in the microwave to reheat leftovers, and it can go in the oven too. For a calm table, pair it with plain linen napkins and pale wood, and let the blue rim frame whatever you serve.
