Description
This is a small, round stoneware bowl, 9cm across and 5cm tall, that holds 165ml. That capacity makes it a dip or condiment bowl rather than a cereal bowl: think a portion of sauce beside a plate, a handful of olives, or a little sea salt kept within reach at the table. The outside is fluted from rim to foot with close vertical ribs, and the grey glaze runs thinly over each ridge and settles deeper in the grooves, so the surface shifts in tone as the light moves across it. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, which suits a piece that will be handled often.
It belongs on the dining table and the kitchen counter. Put one at each place for soy sauce or dressing at dinner, line a few along a board of bread and cheese when friends visit, or keep one beside the hob for chopped herbs while you cook. At breakfast it takes a spoonful of jam or honey without crowding the plate. Because it is so small, it suits anyone who likes to serve little and often, and it makes a thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys hosting. Away from food, it works on a dressing table as a dish for rings and earrings, or by the front door as a catch-all for keys.
The bowl is made entirely of stoneware and glazed on both the inside and the outside. It goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm a sauce in it, keep a dip warm, and wash it with the rest of the dishes without a second thought. It weighs 0.184KG, light enough to pass around the table. For styling, group several on a wooden board or a linen runner: the ribs catch the light, and the grey sits easily beside plain plates as well as wood and stone.
