Description
These are four beige stoneware bowls, each 14.5cm across and 5cm tall, with a crab motif in the centre of every bowl. The sides curve gently up from a low foot, so the bowls sit wide and shallow, and each one holds 450ml. That makes them a breakfast and side bowl size: a good portion of cereal, porridge or soup, or a side salad, rather than a deep noodle bowl. The outside is plain, speckled stoneware, and the decoration is kept inside, where you see it as you eat. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, which is why it suits everyday tableware.
As a set of four, they cover a table for four at breakfast or a small household's everyday meals. The crab gives them a seaside character that suits a kitchen table, a summer lunch in the garden or a seafood supper, where they can hold sauces, salads or a side of new potatoes. They sit comfortably on a dinner plate as a starter bowl, and the low shape makes them easy to reach into when dips and nibbles go round the table. They also make a thoughtful present for someone who loves the coast or has just moved into a new home.
Each bowl is finished in a reactive glaze with an overlaying glass component. A reactive glaze changes as it fires, so no two pieces come out quite alike, and those small differences are part of the charm. The bowls go in the dishwasher, which keeps everyday use simple. Because of the glass in the glaze, the maker does not recommend them for the oven or the microwave, so heat food in another dish and serve it into these. For a relaxed table, lay them on plain linen and let the crab be the one pattern in the setting.
