Description
This is a wide, shallow stoneware bowl, 25cm across and 6.5cm tall, finished in a multicoloured reactive glaze with a fine crackle running through it. The glaze sweeps across the inside and down the outer wall in broad, uneven bands, so the outside is as lively as the inside. At 2000ml it is a serving bowl rather than a bowl for one: roomy enough for a sharing salad or a pasta dish for the whole table, yet low enough that everything stays within easy reach of the serving spoon.
Set it in the middle of the kitchen or dining table for a long weekend lunch, heaped with roast vegetables, a grain salad or a tangle of noodles, and pass it along the table. Between meals it earns a place on a dresser or an open shelf, where the glaze can be seen, or on a sideboard filled with fruit. It suits anyone who likes everyday tableware with some character, and it sits comfortably with plain plates, linen napkins and wooden boards, whether the table is set for two or for a crowd of friends.
The body is 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing clay that holds heat well, and the bowl weighs 1.112KG, which gives it a solid feel in the hands. It goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so a dish can be warmed, served and cleared without moving it into another bowl. Reactive glazes respond to the heat of the kiln, so the pattern and the crackle vary from piece to piece and yours will be its own. For styling, let it be the one patterned piece on an otherwise plain table, piled high with something green.

Frequently Asked
How much does the bowl hold?
It holds 2000ml and measures 25cm across and 6.5cm tall, a generous size for serving salads, pasta or vegetables at the table.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
Yes. The bowl goes in the dishwasher, and it can also go in the microwave and the oven, so warming food and washing up are both simple.
What is it made of?
It is made of 100% stoneware with a reactive glaze finish, which gives the surface its multicoloured streaks and its fine crackle.
Is every bowl patterned the same way?
No two are quite the same. Reactive glazes respond to the heat of the kiln, so the spread of colour and the crackle vary from one bowl to the next.
How heavy is it?
The bowl weighs 1.112KG, so it has a solid, substantial feel when you carry it to the table full.
Is it a serving bowl or a bowl for one person?
At 25cm across with a 2000ml capacity, it works best as a serving bowl for sharing dishes, placed in the middle of the table.
