Description
This is a stoneware bowl made in the shape of a lemon, with a pointed tip at one end and a small modelled stalk and leaf at the other. The whole surface is dimpled like real peel, inside and out, and its glossy yellow finish catches the light across every little hollow. It measures 26cm long, 18cm wide and 6cm tall and holds 930ml, which makes it a generous serving bowl rather than a single portion: room for a side salad, a heap of olives or a pile of fruit in the middle of the table. At 0.732KG it feels solid without being awkward to pass around.
We think of it first as a kitchen piece, but it earns its keep well beyond serving. It goes from oven to table, so a small gratin or a fruit crumble can be baked and brought straight out in it, and it goes in the microwave for warming leftovers. Through the summer it suits a garden lunch or a lazy weekend breakfast, holding lemon wedges, cherry tomatoes or a handful of crisps. Between meals it makes a cheerful fruit bowl on a counter or an open shelf, and it is a thoughtful present for anyone who cooks or loves a sunny kitchen.
It is made of 100% stoneware, and part of the bowl is decorated by hand, so expect small variations from one piece to the next. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, and it holds heat well, which helps a baked dish stay warm at the table. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it can be used every day rather than kept for best. For styling, let the shape do the work: set it on a wooden board or a plain linen cloth and fill it with whole lemons or other fruit; the styling props shown are not included.
