Description
Our Lenka bowl is a small clear glass bowl with real character. Its walls carry a gentle rippled texture, and the rim runs softly uneven rather than perfectly level, so light plays across the glass wherever it sits. It measures 7.5cm long, 8cm wide and 5cm tall and holds 100ml, which makes it a dip or condiment bowl rather than a cereal bowl: think a spoonful of sauce, a handful of nuts or a pinch of flaky salt. A small foot lifts the base just clear of the table.
It earns its place at the table and in the kitchen alike. The maker rates it for food, so set a few out for olives, chutney or a dressing at a weekend lunch, or line them along a board of cheese and bread for guests to help themselves. At 100ml it suits soy sauce beside a plate of dumplings, a little honey for breakfast yoghurt, or a small portion of something sweet after dinner. By the hob it keeps salt or chopped herbs within easy reach while you cook. Because it is clear, whatever sits inside stays on show, which is half the pleasure with bright pickles or glossy berries.
It is made from 100% glass and weighs 0.18KG, light enough to pass round the table without a second thought. It goes in the dishwasher, which makes clearing up after a party simple. It is not for the microwave or the oven, so warm any sauce in a pan first and pour it in once ready. Glass is non-porous, so it does not keep flavours or smells: a bowl that held garlic dip one evening is ready for sugar the next. Keep two or three on an open kitchen shelf among stoneware and wooden boards, where the clear glass lightens a run of heavier pieces and catches the light from a window.
