Description
This is a pair of stoneware bowls, and the two are not alike. One is painted in vertical stripes and carries a raised flower on its side; the other is scattered with dots and has a flower set at the edge of its rim, standing slightly proud of the bowl. Both are multicoloured and painted by hand, with an embossed finish you can feel under your fingertips. Each bowl is 12cm across and 6.5cm tall and holds 310ml, which makes it a small serving bowl rather than a large soup bowl: think yoghurt and berries at breakfast, or a scoop of ice cream after supper.
With two bowls that do not match, everyone at the table knows which one is theirs, so they suit a couple sharing breakfast or a pair of housemates. They are just as useful when friends visit: fill one with olives and the other with nuts, or set them out with dips and crisps beside a board of bread and cheese. At the kitchen table they work for weekday snacks and small desserts, and on a summer table outdoors the cheerful patterns look at home among plain plates. They would also make a thoughtful present for someone setting up a first home.
The bowls are made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic that feels reassuringly solid in the hand. Both go in the dishwasher and the microwave, so warming a little porridge or leftovers takes no effort and washing up is easy. They are not oven safe, so keep them for the table and the microwave rather than baking. For styling, set the two side by side on an open kitchen shelf or a plain linen cloth, where the stripes and dots play off each other, and keep everything around them simple.

Frequently Asked
What material are the bowls?
Both bowls are made of 100% stoneware, painted by hand and finished with raised, embossed flower detail on the outside.
Can the bowls go in the dishwasher and the microwave?
Yes. Both bowls go in the dishwasher and the microwave, so reheating a small portion and clearing up afterwards is straightforward.
Can I use them in the oven?
No. The bowls are not oven safe, so use them for serving and for reheating in the microwave, never for baking in the oven.
How big is each bowl?
Each bowl is 12cm across and 6.5cm tall and holds 310ml, a good size for yoghurt, desserts, dips or a small side of salad.
Are the two bowls the same?
No. One is striped with a raised flower on its side, and the other is dotted with a flower set at the edge of its rim.
How many bowls come in the set?
The set contains two stoneware bowls, one striped and one dotted, so you have a coordinated pair in two different patterns.
