Linora Stoneware Bowls 12.5cm Set of 3 - Brown

Our Linora stoneware bowls come as a set of three, each one 12.5cm across and 8cm tall, holding 580ml. The decoration is painted by hand in brown on a solid glaze, and every bowl in the set carries its own pattern: one has scattered round dots, one has long painted petals separated by fine lines, and the third has slender stems topped with round heads, like little flowers. Each has a contrasting band at the foot. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing clay, which makes it a sensible choice for bowls that will be used every day.

At 580ml, each bowl is a generous breakfast bowl rather than a dip dish: big enough for cereal, porridge or yoghurt with fruit, and as handy for a portion of soup, a side salad or a bowl of noodles at the end of the day. Because they can go in the microwave, leftovers can be warmed in the bowl in which they will be eaten, and as they can go in the oven too, they suit individual baked puddings or a crumble for one. The three patterns sit happily side by side on a kitchen table, so a family breakfast or a casual supper for friends looks thought through without matching everything.

Each bowl is stoneware throughout, with its brown decoration painted by hand onto a solid glaze. Care is simple: all three go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so they move from cupboard to table to sink with no special handling. Because the pattern is applied by hand, the brush marks show, giving the dots and petals the slight unevenness of something made by a person. The rounded shape lets them stack neatly, which saves shelf space. For styling, stack two different patterns together on an open shelf, or line all three along a wooden board with herbs and bread for a farmhouse feel.
