Description
This is a round stoneware bowl raised on a short pedestal foot, made for the Christmas table. A border of painted hearts runs around the inside of the rim, a scatter of small dots circles the outside, and at the very centre sits a little round ornament tied with a ribbon bow, so the bowl looks festive even when it is empty. It measures 24cm across and 11.5cm tall, a generous width for a centrepiece without crowding a laid table, and its cream body lets the decoration stand out.
Because the ornament takes up the middle, the bowl works best for things arranged around it: clementines and apples, wrapped sweets, mince pies or a ring of Christmas biscuits. It is made to hold food, so you can serve straight from it at the dining table, on a sideboard during a party or on the coffee table when friends drop by in December. The pedestal lifts what it holds above the table top, which makes a small handful of treats look like a proper display. Between meals it can stand on a dresser or hall table as a seasonal decoration in its own right, and it makes a cheerful present for anyone who loves to host at Christmas.
The body is 100% stoneware, a dense, sturdy clay that feels substantial in the hand, and the bowl weighs 0.858KG. Its decoration is applied by hand, so small differences in the painted hearts and dots from one piece to the next are part of its character. It does not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so wash it by hand and dry it before putting it away. For a fuller table, pile fruit around the centre and tuck in a few sprigs of greenery, leaving the hearts on the rim on show.
