Carla Stoneware Bowls 11cm Set of 6 - Multi

This is a set of six stoneware bowls, each 11cm across and 6.5cm tall with a 350ml capacity, a handy size for a breakfast portion of cereal or yoghurt, a dessert or a side dish. The outside of every bowl is covered in a close grid of small rounded squares, each with a dot at its centre. Every bowl carries that pattern in its own colour and finishes with a contrasting rim, so the set is multicoloured rather than matched, while the inside is left plain so food shows clearly.

We find they earn their place at every meal. In the morning they take porridge, granola or berries; later in the day they hold rice, salad, olives, sauces or dips, and after dinner they are the right size for ice cream or a fruit crumble. Because each bowl looks different, everyone at the table can keep track of their own, which is useful at a family breakfast or when guests share snacks on the sofa. They are as at home on a weekday kitchen table as on a relaxed weekend brunch spread.

The pattern is a decal print finished with handpainted details, which gives each bowl a softer, less uniform look than print alone. They go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can reheat leftovers or bake a single portion of crumble and bring it straight to the table in the same bowl. Stoneware is dense and holds heat well, so it suits warm dishes as much as cold ones. To finish, line them up on an open shelf or a kitchen dresser, where the six colours sit happily beside plain white plates and wooden boards.
