Latina Stoneware Bowl 12cm - Pink

This is a small round stoneware bowl in pink, 12cm across and 6.5cm tall, holding 400ml. Its sides are moulded in soft vertical flutes that run from the foot to a gently scalloped rim, and the glaze settles in lighter and deeper tones along the ridges, so no two flutes look quite alike. That 400ml is a useful everyday size: big enough for a breakfast portion of cereal, porridge or yoghurt with fruit, yet compact enough to sit neatly beside a plate.

It belongs on the kitchen table and the breakfast tray. Use it for cereal in the morning, olives or nuts when friends visit, a scoop of ice cream after dinner, or a dip in the middle of the table for sharing. At 12cm across it is a single serving bowl rather than a family dish, which makes it a good choice for laying one at every place, for a small salad alongside a main course or for rice beside a curry. Because it holds 400ml, it also takes a cup of soup or a helping of noodles.

It is made entirely of stoneware, finished in a solid coloured glaze, and weighs 0.3KG. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, which suits a bowl that will see daily use. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, it can be warmed in the microwave and it can go in the oven, so leftovers can be reheated in the bowl and a baked pudding can come straight to the table. The styling props shown are not included. For a relaxed look, line a few of these pink bowls along an open kitchen shelf, where the fluted sides read clearly, or pair them with plain white plates so the colour carries the table.

What material is the bowl?

It is made of 100% stoneware and finished in a solid coloured glaze in pink, covering both the inside and the outside of the bowl.

Can it go in the dishwasher and the microwave?

Yes. The maker says it goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and it can go in the oven too, so reheating leftovers in the bowl is easy.

How big is the bowl?

It measures 12cm across and 6.5cm tall and holds 400ml, which makes it a single-serving size rather than a large family serving dish.

What uses does it suit?

It suits breakfast cereal, porridge or yoghurt, a cup of soup, a scoop of ice cream, a small side salad, or snacks such as olives and nuts for sharing.

How much does it weigh?

The bowl weighs 0.3KG and measures 12cm across, so it takes up little room in a kitchen cupboard or on a breakfast tray.

Is just one bowl included?

Yes, the price is for a single bowl. The styling props shown, such as the mug, the plates and the glass jars, are not included.
