Karine Bowl 13.5cm - Assorted Designs

The price is for one bowl, sold in the carton quantity shown; it comes in two designs, shown together in the photographs, and the design you receive cannot be chosen. It is a small, deep stoneware bowl, 13.5cm across and 7.5cm tall, holding 500ml, which puts it at breakfast and side bowl size rather than a serving dish. One design carries a fine lattice of small flowers and curling lines; the other has bands of round flowers and little leaf shapes running around the outside. Both are multicoloured, with a plain band at the rim and a neat foot that lifts the bowl off the table, while the inside stays smooth, plain and lightly speckled. It weighs 0.333KG.

At 500ml it holds a generous helping of cereal, porridge or yoghurt in the morning, and later in the day it suits soup, noodles, rice or a side salad. Between meals it can hold olives, nuts or a dip when friends visit, or sit by the hob with chopped herbs ready for cooking. The compact size makes it a good everyday bowl for a family kitchen, a first flat or a holiday let, where a small portion is often all that is needed. It suits anyone who likes patterned, slightly informal tableware more than plain, uniform pieces.

Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing clay that holds heat well. The pattern is stamped by hand, and hand stamping never repeats a print exactly, so small shifts in line and spacing are part of its character. Care is easy: it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can reheat leftovers, bake a small crumble or eggs and then wash it without fuss. For styling, let the pattern do the work: pair it with plain plates and linen napkins, or line a few bowls along an open shelf so the hand-stamped detail stays on view.

How much does the bowl hold?
