Finna Stoneware Bowl 17cm - Blue

Finna is a stoneware bowl with a shape you notice at once: a thick, rolled rim sits on sides that taper to a neat, much smaller foot. It measures 17cm across and 10.5cm tall, yet holds a modest 150ml, because that generous rim leaves a small, deep well at its heart. That makes it a bowl for little things rather than cereal or soup. The glaze is the real reason to choose it. A deep blue band frames the rim, then breaks into fine streaks that run down the outside and inward towards a paler centre, where faint rings circle the inside of the well. Due to the nature of the glaze, colour can vary from one bowl to the next.

It is food safe, so it earns a place on the table for olives, nuts, a dip or a sauce beside a sharing board. Away from meals, it suits a hallway shelf or a bedside table, gathering rings, keys or loose odds and ends in one place, and at 0.79KG it sits steady and solid. On a sideboard beside candlesticks or a stack of books, it adds a pool of blue to a room full of wood and soft neutrals. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves ceramics with movement in the glaze.

The bowl is made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-fired clay that takes a deep, glassy glaze well. The foot is left unglazed, so the bare clay shows where the bowl meets the surface. It is not dishwasher safe, so wash it by hand. It is not suitable for the microwave or the oven either, so use it for cold or room-temperature food rather than anything that needs heating. For styling, stand it on a pale wooden surface where the blue glaze has room to shine; the styling props shown are not included.

What size is the Finna bowl?

It is 17cm across and 10.5cm tall, with a capacity of 150ml, because the thick rolled rim leaves a small, deep well in the middle.

Can I serve food in it?

Yes. The maker lists it as food safe, and its 150ml well is a good size for olives, nuts, dips and sauces.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

No. The bowl is not dishwasher safe, so we suggest washing it by hand in warm, soapy water.

Can I use it in the microwave or the oven?

No. It is not suitable for the microwave or the oven, so keep it for cold or room-temperature food and for display.

Does every bowl look identical?

Not exactly. Due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the streaks and the blue band differ a little from bowl to bowl.

What is it made of and how heavy is it?

It is made of 100% stoneware and weighs 0.79KG, a solid weight for its size that keeps it steady on a shelf or table.
