Description
This is a stoneware bowl in a reactive glaze, blue sweeping across one side and a fine crackle across the lighter part of the glaze. It measures 17.5cm across and 5.5cm tall and holds 750ml, so it sits low and wide: a generous size for pasta, salad or a bowl of soup, and roomy enough to set in the middle of the table as a shared side dish. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, which gives it a comfortable weight in the hand; this one weighs 0.552KG.
We see it as an everyday bowl that is good enough for guests. Use it for breakfast oats, a weeknight curry or a shared bowl of olives, then rinse it and line it up with its neighbours on an open kitchen shelf or behind the glass of a dresser, where the blue glaze looks handsome against wood. It suits a farmhouse kitchen, a small flat with a busy table, or anyone who likes their tableware to look a little different from piece to piece, and it makes a thoughtful housewarming present for a keen cook.
It goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it can warm last night's leftovers, finish a small gratin or bake a crumble for two, then be cleared away without fuss. Reactive glazes move and change in the heat of the kiln, which is why no two pieces turn out quite alike, and the crackle in this bowl is part of that character rather than a flaw. For an easy table, pair it with plain plates and let the bowl carry the colour, or stack a few on an open shelf with a folded linen tea towel beside them.

Yes. It goes in both the dishwasher and the microwave, so it can reheat a portion and then be washed with the rest of your everyday plates and cups.
