Latina Stoneware Bowls 9cm Set of 6 - Green

These small stoneware bowls come as a set of six, each one 9cm across and 5cm tall with a capacity of 165ml. Close vertical ribs run from the base to the rim on the outside, and a solid coloured green glaze covers every bowl, its gloss picking out each rib as the light moves across the surface. At 165ml this is a dip, sauce or side-dish size rather than a cereal bowl, the small dish you set beside a plate rather than a bowl for a whole meal. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, which makes it a sound choice for pieces that will be used every day.

Set out as a group, they make a neat spread for olives, hummus, chutney or a dipping sauce, and they are just as handy for a scoop of ice cream or a portion of berries after dinner. They suit a weekend brunch, drinks with friends or an ordinary family supper where everyone gets a dish of dressing of their own. In the kitchen they double as prep bowls, holding chopped garlic, herbs or spices ready for the pan. With six matching pieces you can lay one at every place when six sit down to eat, or line them along the middle of the table for sharing.

The bowls are made entirely of stoneware and finished in a solid coloured glaze, a single colour with no pattern. Care is straightforward: they go in the dishwasher, they can be used in the microwave to warm a sauce, and they can go in the oven, so an individual baked pudding can be made and served in the same dish. The styling props shown are not included. Green sits beside natural wood, linen and clear glass very naturally, so for a relaxed table we would set the bowls on wooden boards or saucers and let the ribbed glaze carry the colour.
