Description
This is a wide, shallow stoneware bowl raised on a short foot and painted by hand, 26.5cm across and 7.5cm tall. Inside, a sunburst of painted rays and dots spreads out from a sculpted face that rises from the centre, while bold stripes run down the outside and round the foot, so it looks as good from the side as from directly overhead. It is made entirely of stoneware and holds 1000ml, which makes it a generous serving or fruit bowl rather than an everyday cereal bowl. The multicoloured decoration and the raised face give it real character on a table.
It is food safe, so it can earn its place at the table as well as on a shelf. Pile it with fruit on the kitchen counter, bring a shared salad to the dining table, or fill it with crisps and olives when friends visit. Because the face rises from the middle, food sits in the ring around it, which suits loose things such as fruit, leaves or bread. Between meals it looks just as happy on a sideboard, a dresser or a coffee table, empty or holding a few lemons. It would also make a cheerful gift for anyone who likes colour and a little humour in the kitchen.
Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and at 1.1KG this bowl has a reassuring weight in the hand. The decoration is painted by hand, so the brushwork carries the small irregularities that come with a hand finish. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, so warming leftovers in it is no trouble, but it is not oven safe, so keep it out of the oven. For styling, give it space on bare wood or a plain linen runner, where the pattern can do the talking, and keep anything around it quiet.
