Description
Our Nara bowl is a small, shallow stoneware bowl, 13cm across and 4.5cm tall, finished in a glossy blue glaze. Inside, the glaze breaks into a fine speckled pattern that radiates out from a pale centre, rather like ripples spreading across a pool. The rim is softly uneven instead of perfectly round, with a thin darker line along its edge, which gives the bowl a relaxed, organic outline. It holds 500ml and weighs 0.26KG, and it sits comfortably in one hand.
As a 500ml bowl it suits everyday servings: yoghurt and fruit at breakfast, cereal, a side of rice or salad at dinner, or a scoop of ice cream afterwards. It is food safe and microwave safe, so leftovers can be reheated in it for lunch. Because it is oven safe as well, it will bake a single crumble or a portion of baked eggs and go straight to the table. Set several around a shared table for dips, olives and nuts, or keep one by the kettle for a quick bowl of porridge. It suits anyone who likes everyday tableware with a little character, and it makes a thoughtful housewarming gift.
The bowl is 100% stoneware. Stoneware is a dense clay fired at high temperature, which makes it hard-wearing and well suited to daily use. The glaze gives the inside and outside a smooth, glossy surface. Care is simple: it is dishwasher safe, microwave safe and oven safe, so it moves from oven to table to dishwasher without fuss. For styling, line a few along an open kitchen shelf, or set one beside plain plates so the blue glaze becomes the point of interest on the table.
