Description
This is a small beige stoneware bowl, 14.5cm across and 5cm tall, holding 300ml. That size makes it a side or dessert bowl rather than a soup bowl: enough for a portion of yoghurt and fruit, a helping of rice beside a curry or a scoop of ice cream. Its character comes from a vivid reactive glaze. Inside, the base is covered in a fine crackle, a web of tiny crazed lines that catches the light, while the walls and rim carry a scattered speckle that runs over onto the outside. The outside rises in shallow horizontal ridges, so there is texture to feel as well as to see.
On the table it suits the small things that come alongside a meal: olives and nuts with drinks, dips and sauces at a sharing supper, chopped herbs or grated cheese set out by the hob. At breakfast it holds granola and berries just as well. The low, open shape lets hands reach in easily, which matters for a bowl handed from guest to guest. Because the glaze is so varied, it sits happily beside a plain dinner service and lends it a little texture, and it mixes well with other glazed pieces for a table that looks gathered over time rather than bought in one go.
The bowl is 100% stoneware, a material fired at high temperature until it is dense and hard-wearing, which is why it suits everyday use. The maker rates it for food use, and it goes in the dishwasher, so it can be cleared straight from the table into the rack. It is not for the microwave or the oven, so warm food in another dish and spoon it in to serve. It weighs 0.367KG. For styling, line a few up on an open kitchen shelf where the crackle inside shows, or set one at each place on a linen runner for pudding.
