Description
Our Dorothy bowl is a wide, shallow serving bowl in 100% stoneware, 28cm across and 6.5cm tall, with a capacity of 1800ml. That size puts it in serving territory rather than single portions: it is the bowl that carries a big leafy salad, a heap of buttered pasta or a pile of roasted vegetables to the middle of the table. The white surface carries a fine woven texture, and in the centre sits a bouquet of blossom rising from a footed vase decorated with cherries. Around the edge, the scalloped rim rises and falls in soft waves, traced by a fine line that gives the piece a cottage look.
It belongs on the dining table for Sunday lunch, summer suppers and buffets, where a floral bowl brings cheer to a spread of plain dishes. Between meals it earns its place on the kitchen counter as a fruit bowl, holding apples, lemons or a bunch of bananas where everyone can reach them. It suits anyone who likes a relaxed, country-kitchen table, and it makes a thoughtful housewarming or wedding gift for someone who cooks for friends. At 1KG it has a reassuring weight, and stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, which matters for a bowl that is passed hand to hand.
The bowl is made entirely of stoneware, and it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven. That means you can bake a crumble or a gratin in it, warm leftovers through in the microwave and send it straight to the dishwasher afterwards. Its shallow depth suits dishes best served in an even layer rather than a deep heap. For the table, let the bouquet do the talking: set it among plain white plates and a linen cloth, or leave it on an open shelf between meals so the pattern stays on show.
