Latina Fluted Stoneware Bowl 9cm - Green

This is a small, round stoneware bowl, 9cm across and 5cm tall, holding 165ml. Its outside is fluted from the narrow foot to the rim, with fine vertical ribs that catch the light, and the whole piece is finished in a solid coloured green glaze with a soft gloss. Where the glaze thins at the rim it breaks to a darker edge, so the outline reads clearly on the table. At 165ml it is a dip, sauce or side bowl size rather than a cereal bowl, and that small scale is exactly what makes it so useful.

Set a few at the centre of the table for olives, nuts, hummus and dipping oils, or put one beside each plate for soy sauce, chutney or a spoonful of yoghurt. It is a good size for a single portion of dessert, a handful of berries at breakfast, or salt and chopped herbs kept by the hob while you cook. Because it goes in the oven, it can bake a small pudding and then come straight to the table, and it can warm a little sauce or melt butter in the microwave. Away from mealtimes, it makes a neat home for rings, earrings and keys on a dressing table or hallway shelf.

The bowl is made entirely of stoneware, a dense ceramic fired at high temperature, and it weighs 0.184KG. It goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it moves from cooking to serving to washing up without any fuss. The glaze covers the inside as well as the fluted outside, giving a smooth, glossy surface throughout. For styling, keep a stack on an open shelf, where the ribbed sides show at their best, and pair the green with plain plates, wooden boards and linen napkins for a relaxed, layered table.
