Description
This is a stoneware bowl in purple, 12cm across and 6.5cm tall, with fluted sides that run from the foot up to the rim. It holds 400ml, which makes it a breakfast bowl size rather than a serving dish: room for a helping of cereal, porridge or yoghurt with fruit, without the bulk of a deep soup bowl. The finish is a solid coloured glaze with a gloss, and over the ridges of the fluting it catches the light, so a single colour still looks lively on the table. It weighs 0.3KG.
It belongs on the breakfast table first, but the size suits plenty of other meals: a side of rice or salad with supper, olives and nuts for friends, berries or ice cream after dinner, or a small soup at lunch. Because it goes in the microwave, it is handy for reheating a single portion of leftovers or warming porridge on a busy morning. It suits a family kitchen in everyday use, a small flat where each piece needs to earn its place, and anyone who likes setting a relaxed table for guests.
The bowl is made of 100% stoneware. Stoneware is fired at high temperature into a dense body, and it holds heat well. This bowl goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, which means it can bake individual eggs or a small fruit crumble, come straight to the table and then be washed with everything else in the machine. For styling, line a few up on an open shelf where the fluted sides show, or put one at each place on a linen cloth; the purple glaze looks its best against natural wood and plain white plates.
