Description
This is a small, round stoneware bowl, 9cm across and 5cm tall, with ribbed sides that run from the base up to a gently wavy rim. It holds 165ml, which makes it a dish for small portions rather than a cereal or soup bowl: the right size for olives, a dip, a spoonful of chutney or a little sugar beside the coffee pot. The red glaze is glossy and catches the light along every rib, so even a single bowl gives a bare table a bright point of colour.
Because it is so compact, it earns a place on the kitchen table and the dining table alike. Set one at each place for dipping sauces at dinner, line several along the middle of the table for olives, nuts and pickles when friends visit, or keep one by the hob for salt and chopped herbs while you cook. At breakfast it takes jam, butter or a yoghurt topping; on a tea tray it holds sugar cubes or a few biscuits. It works away from the table too, on a dressing table for rings and earrings or in the hall for keys and coins.
The bowl is made of 100% stoneware and finished in a solid coloured glaze that covers the inside and the outside in red. Stoneware is fired at high temperatures, which makes it dense and hard-wearing, a good material for pieces used every day. The maker rates it for the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it can warm a portion of sauce, come to the table and go straight into the dishwasher afterwards. It weighs 0.19KG, light enough to pass easily from hand to hand. As a styling note, the ribs look best in repetition: line three or four along an open shelf, or set one beside a plain plate so nothing competes with the red glaze.

Frequently Asked
How much does the bowl hold?
It holds 165ml and measures 9cm across and 5cm tall, so it is a small dish for dips, sauces, olives or sugar rather than a cereal bowl.
Can it go in the dishwasher and the microwave?
Yes. The maker rates it for both, so it can be warmed in the microwave and washed in the dishwasher with the rest of your everyday crockery.
Can I use it in the oven?
Yes. The maker rates it for use in the oven, so it can warm a small portion of sauce or a side dish before it comes to the table.
What is the material of the bowl?
It is made of 100% stoneware with a solid coloured red glaze. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, which suits a bowl used at the table every day.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 0.19KG, so it is light enough to pass around the table or to carry several at once on a tray.
Is the glaze on the inside as well?
Yes. The red glaze covers both the inside and the outside of the bowl, and the outside has ribbed sides leading up to a gently wavy rim.
