Description
This is a small stoneware bowl, 14.5cm across and 5cm tall, holding 300ml and finished in a vivid reactive glaze of green. Inside, the glaze gathers into a deeper pool at the centre and breaks into a speckled, crackled pattern as it climbs the walls; outside, the body steps down in a series of shallow ridges towards the base. A reactive glaze moves and settles during firing, so no two bowls finish quite alike, and yours will carry its own markings. Stoneware is dense and hard wearing, a sound choice for a bowl in daily use.
At 300ml it is a small bowl rather than a cereal bowl: right for olives, nuts or crisps with drinks, a dip or a sauce beside the main plate, a side of pickles or a modest helping of dessert. Set a few along a dining table for sharing plates, or keep one by the sofa for snacks on a film night. Away from the table, it also works as a dish for rings and earrings on a dressing table, or for keys by the front door. It suits anyone who likes tableware with some character, and makes a thoughtful gift for a keen cook.
The bowl is 100% stoneware and weighs 0.367KG, easy to pass round the table. It goes in the dishwasher, so clearing up after a meal takes no extra effort, but it should stay out of the microwave and the oven: warm food in another dish first, then spoon the food into the bowl. The glaze runs over the inside and the ridged outside alike, so the bowl looks finished from every side, which counts when it sits on display. For styling, pair it with plain plates and let the green glaze lead the table, or line up a few on a kitchen shelf where the ridges catch the light.
