Description
This is a deep stoneware bowl in cream, 15.5cm across and 8.5cm tall, finished in a reactive glaze that gives the whole surface a sense of movement. It holds 750ml, a properly generous measure: a full portion of soup, a heaped bowl of cereal or a big helping of noodles. Inside, the glaze pools into a glossy, speckled patch that catches the light, while a fine darker line traces the softly uneven rim. Reactive glazes respond to the heat of the kiln, so no two pieces come out quite alike.
It earns its place on the kitchen or dining table every day of the week: porridge or yoghurt in the morning, a salad at lunch, ramen or a bowl of stew in the evening. At 750ml it is also a sensible size for a shared side in the middle of the table, filled with olives, crisps or roasted nuts. Deep, tapered sides like these keep broth and dressing well inside the rim, which matters when a bowl is carried from hob to table. It suits a first kitchen, a busy family table and anyone who likes tableware with a little character, where each bowl looks slightly different from the next.
The bowl is 100% stoneware and weighs 0.45KG, a weight that feels solid in the hand. It goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so last night's soup can be warmed through in the bowl that served it, and nothing needs washing by hand afterwards. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, which is why it stands up well to daily use. For styling, let the cream glaze lead: set it on a plain linen runner or a pale wooden board, keep a stack on an open shelf, and leave the variation in the glaze on show.

Frequently Asked
How much does the bowl hold?
It holds 750ml, a generous measure for a full portion of soup, cereal, noodles or a lunchtime salad.
Can it go in the dishwasher, microwave and oven?
Yes. It goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and it can go in the oven as well, so reheating and washing up are both straightforward.
What material is the bowl?
It is 100% stoneware with a reactive glaze, which gives the surface its glossy, speckled pools and its slight variation from bowl to bowl.
How big is it?
It is 15.5cm across and 8.5cm tall and weighs 0.45KG, so it is a deep bowl with tall, tapered sides.
