Description
This is a stoneware bowl made for children's meals, 14cm across and 7cm tall, with a capacity of 615ml. It is white on the outside, scattered with small round dots, and a little sheep figure stands out in raised relief on the side, arms and legs spread as if it were climbing the bowl. Inside, the glaze changes to a contrasting tone, so food sits against a deeper, calmer shade than the dotted outside. At 615ml it is a proper cereal or soup bowl size rather than a small snack dish, so it suits a full breakfast portion.
We see it first on the breakfast table, filled with cereal, porridge or yoghurt, and again at teatime for soup, pasta or a snack of fruit after school. The sheep gives a child something to spot at every meal, which can make sitting down to eat a little more fun, and the dots keep the look cheerful without feeling busy. It suits a family kitchen table or a playroom table, and it is a thoughtful gift for a child who likes animals. Between meals it can hold crayons, pencils or small treasures on a shelf in a child's room.
The bowl is made of 100% stoneware. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic that holds heat well. The maker states that it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm porridge in the microwave, bake a small crumble and then put it straight into the dishwasher with everything else. It weighs 0.43KG. For a cheerful table, set it beside plain white plates and let the dots and the sheep carry the look, or keep one bowl for each child so everyone knows which is theirs.
