Karlie Stoneware Bowl 10cm - Cream

This is a small stoneware bowl in cream, 10cm across and 4cm tall, with a capacity of 50ml. That makes it a dip and condiment bowl rather than one for cereal or soup. Think olive oil for bread, a spoonful of chutney, salt flakes or a handful of olives beside a plate. The outside carries a band of pointed arches, each framing a small stylised motif between fine lines, and a contrasting line runs around the rim. Inside, it is left plain cream, so whatever it holds sits against a clean, quiet background. It is made entirely of stoneware and weighs 0.156KG, light enough to pass easily around the table.

It earns its place on a breakfast table, at a dinner where everyone shares small plates, or beside a glass of wine when friends visit. Put one at each place setting for sauces and dressings, or line several down the middle of the table as a little spread of nibbles. Away from the table, it suits a kitchen shelf or a dresser, where the arched band shows well. It also makes a tidy dish for rings and earrings on a bedside table or paper clips on a desk. It suits anyone who likes to cook for others and serve in small portions, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a new home.

Care is simple. The bowl goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can melt a little butter or warm a sauce in it, carry it straight to the table and wash it with everything else afterwards. Stoneware holds heat well, which suits warm dips. For styling, set it on a plain plate or a wooden board, where the cream interior keeps things calm and the arched band brings the detail. It sits just as comfortably with simple white tableware as with patterned pieces you already own.
