Jules Stoneware Bowl 15.5cm - Multi

This deep stoneware bowl is 15.5cm across and 8.5cm tall, finished in a reactive glaze that gives it a multicoloured surface full of movement. Its sides rise steeply from a narrower foot and flare gently out towards the rim, where the glaze runs down in long drips and streaks before giving way to a softly speckled body. Reactive glazes shift and flow as they fire, and that is what gives the bowl its layered, painterly look. With a 750ml capacity, it is a generous everyday bowl rather than a small dish.

That 750ml holds a full serving, so this is a bowl for proper meals: cereal or porridge in the morning, soup or noodles at lunch, and stew, pasta or a side salad in the evening. It works as well for a quiet breakfast at the kitchen counter as it does for a relaxed supper with friends, and it is roomy enough to carry fruit or crisps to the table when people gather. It suits anyone who likes everyday tableware with some character in the glaze, and it sits comfortably beside wood, linen and woven baskets in a kitchen with open shelving.

The bowl is made entirely of stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing clay body that holds heat well, which suits a hot soup or a bowl of porridge. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, in the microwave for warming leftovers, and in the oven, so it can take a baked dish or keep food warm before serving. It weighs 0.45KG, which gives it a solid, settled feel on the table. We like to let the glaze lead: set it on a plain wooden board or a linen runner in a neutral tone, and keep the rest of the table simple. The styling props shown are not included.
