Lacey Stoneware Bowls 21cm Set of 4 - Multi

These Lacey bowls come as a set of four in stoneware, each 21cm across and 6cm tall, with a capacity of 625ml. That pairing makes a wide, shallow bowl: generous enough for a main-course salad or a portion of pasta, yet shallow enough that the food sits on show rather than hidden in a deep well. The inside carries a multicoloured glaze that pools and breaks in patches, flecked areas running into smoother ones, while the outside is left plainer, so the colour stays where the eye falls first. The rim is softly uneven, which gives the set a relaxed outline rather than a rigid one.

Lay four places at the kitchen table and the set covers a weeknight supper for four, or a small dinner with friends. We like them for leafy salads, grain bowls, pasta and stews, and they suit a relaxed dining room as readily as a busy family kitchen. Because all four share one size, the table looks matched without looking formal, and the glaze gives even a simple meal a backdrop worth a second look. They work just as well for a sharing course set in the middle of the table, with one bowl of salad and another of roasted vegetables for everyone to share.

Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic fired at high temperatures, which is why it suits food served every day. These bowls go in the dishwasher, so clearing the table after a meal stays simple. They are not for the microwave or the oven, so warm food in a pan and serve it into the bowls rather than heating it in them. For the table, pair them with plain linen and wooden boards so the glaze carries the colour on its own; between meals, the four lined up on an open kitchen shelf make a cheerful display.

Can they go in the dishwasher?

Yes. The bowls go in the dishwasher, which makes them easy to use every day and quick to clear after a meal.

Can I use them in the microwave or oven?

No. The maker states they are not for the microwave or the oven, so heat food in a pan and serve it into the bowls afterwards.
