Description
This is a small footed bowl in stoneware, 9cm across and 6.5cm tall, holding 170ml. That makes it a bowl for a single portion rather than a cereal or soup bowl: think a scoop of ice cream, a spoonful of jam, a handful of nuts or a dip beside a plate. It stands on a short pedestal foot that lifts it clear of the table, and the outside is hand-painted all over with sun motifs on a grey ground, with soft streaks running through the glaze. The rim is gently uneven, which suits the painted surface and keeps the piece from looking stiff.
Its size suits the breakfast table, where it takes honey, butter, yoghurt or berries, and it earns a place at a dinner party as a dish for olives, sea salt or a dipping sauce. It is a neat size for one person's pudding, so a row of them makes dessert feel like an occasion without much effort. Away from the kitchen it works just as well on a dressing table or a hall shelf as a catch-all for rings, earrings, hair ties or keys, and the sunny pattern brightens a windowsill or a bedside table.
The bowl is 100% stoneware with a hand-painted finish and weighs 0.18KG. It goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm a sauce, bake a small crumble or reheat leftovers in it, then wash it with everything else. Stoneware is dense and holds heat well, a useful quality in a dish for warm dips. For styling, set two or three in a line down the middle of the table, or put one beside each place setting with a few sweets in it and let the suns do the talking.
