Linora Dotted Stoneware Bowls 12.5cm Set of 3 - Blue

These are three stoneware bowls, each 12.5cm across and 8cm tall with a capacity of 580ml. Every bowl carries its own handpainted blue design: one has tall brushstroke ovals divided by fine painted lines, one is covered in scattered dots, and the third has round dots on slim stems, like a row of flower heads. The sides curve gently, the bowls are a little wider than they are tall, and a contrasting band runs around the foot to set off the brushwork. Stoneware is a dense, hard-fired ceramic that suits everyday use.

At 580ml these are proper everyday bowls rather than little dishes: the right size for cereal or porridge at breakfast, soup or noodles at lunch, and rice, salad or sides at the dinner table. Because the three designs differ, they suit a household of three who like to know whose bowl is whose, or they can sit in the middle of the table with snacks when friends visit. They look at home in a kitchen with open shelves, and they make a thoughtful gift for someone setting up a first home or anyone fond of painted tableware.

The decoration is painted by hand on a solid glaze, and a glazed surface is smooth and easy to wipe clean. Looking after them is simple: the bowls go in the dishwasher and the microwave, and they can go in the oven too, so you can reheat leftovers or bake an individual crumble and bring it straight to the table. They stack, which helps when cupboard space is tight. For a relaxed table, give each place a different design, or line all three along an open shelf beside plain linen and wooden boards so the blue brushwork becomes the focus.
