Description
The Milani is a small stoneware bowl, 14.5cm across and 5cm tall, holding 300ml. Its vivid reactive glaze is the reason to choose it. Inside, darker streaks run outwards from a speckled centre like rays, while the outside is mottled and spotted over a wall softly ridged in rings. The whole piece reads as multicoloured and layered. A reactive glaze moves and pools as it fires, so no two pieces finish quite alike. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, which suits a bowl meant for daily use, and this one weighs 0.367KG.
At 300ml it is a side bowl rather than a soup bowl: the right size for yoghurt and berries at breakfast, a portion of rice or salad beside a dinner plate, olives and nuts for guests, or a dip in the middle of the table. It suits a kitchen where the tableware is gathered rather than matched, because a multicoloured glaze sits happily beside plain plates as well as other glazed pieces. Between meals it looks good on an open shelf or a dresser, so it never has to hide in a cupboard. It also makes a thoughtful present for someone who loves to cook.
The bowl is 100% stoneware in a vivid reactive glaze, and it goes in the dishwasher, so everyday use is no trouble. It is not suitable for the microwave or the oven, so warm food in a pan first and serve it into the bowl afterwards. Because the glaze varies from piece to piece, the streaks and speckles on yours will be its own, which is much of the appeal of a reactive finish. Lay one at each place on a woven placemat with a plain linen napkin, or line a few along an open shelf so the patterned interiors catch the light.
