Maya Stoneware Bowls 16.5cm Set of 3 - Multi

This is a set of three stoneware bowls, each 16.5cm across and 7.5cm tall with a capacity of 650ml. That makes them a true cereal and soup bowl size, deep enough for a generous portion of porridge, broth or noodles. Each bowl carries its own pattern, so the three never quite match: one is covered in small daisy-like flowers, one in a running chevron scattered with dots, and one in rows of fanned motifs between fine dots. The effect is multicoloured and cheerful, and the three read as a family rather than a uniform stack.

On the breakfast table they take cereal, yoghurt and fruit; at lunch they suit soup, salads and grain bowls; in the evening they work for pasta, curry or a side of rice. Because the patterns differ, each person can claim a bowl of their own. That goes down well in a household of three or with children who like to know which one is theirs. They are just as useful at the counter when cooking, holding chopped vegetables, herbs or a quick dressing, and they make a friendly serving bowl for olives or nuts at a relaxed supper with friends.

The bowls are made from 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic that holds heat well. The pattern is a decal print finished with handpainted details, and a fine line traces each rim. Care is straightforward: they go in the dishwasher, they can be warmed or reheated in the microwave, and they can go in the oven, which is handy for keeping food warm before serving. A low foot ring lifts each bowl off the table. For styling, stack the three on an open shelf so every pattern shows, or set them out on plain linen and natural wood, where the multicoloured prints look their best.
