Florist Floral Stoneware Bowls 9cm Set of 2 - Multi

This is a pair of small stoneware bowls, sold as a set of 2, each one 9cm across and 4.5cm tall with a capacity of 95ml. The charm of them is that the two bowls carry different floral patterns. One has a single large bloom framed by broad leaves on its inner surface, with a band of geometric key pattern and a row of small flowers around the outside. The other is covered inside and out in scattered blossoms and leafy sprigs. Both share a wavy, scalloped rim with a contrasting edge that frames the pattern neatly, and together they make a cheerful, multicoloured pair of bowls for the table.

At 95ml, these are dipping and condiment bowls rather than cereal bowls: right for a dip beside a plate of crudités, a little soy sauce with dumplings, salted nuts with drinks or a spoonful of jam at breakfast. Set out together, they bring a lively note to a kitchen table, a brunch spread or a tray of nibbles for guests. Away from meals, they are a handy size for rings and earrings on a dressing table, or for keys and coins by the front door, so they earn their keep between uses too.

Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, and these bowls are made entirely from it. They go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm a little sauce or melt butter in one and then wash it with the rest of the dishes. Because they are small, they tuck easily into a cupboard alongside your everyday plates. For styling, set the pair side by side on a plain wooden board or a simple plate: the two patterns differ enough to look deliberate, and a plain backdrop lets the floral detail hold the eye.
