Description
This is a stoneware bowl in cream, 16cm across and 5cm tall, with a capacity of 525ml. That makes it a wide, fairly shallow bowl of everyday size, roomy enough for cereal or porridge, a bowl of soup or a side salad, without the bulk of a deep serving bowl. What makes it its own is the reactive glaze, which gathers into a softly shaded band below the rim and thins over the body to reveal fine speckling in the clay. Reactive glazes move as they fire, so each bowl finishes a little differently from the next.
It belongs at the kitchen table first: morning cereal, yoghurt and fruit, a quick lunch of noodles, a weeknight stew. Because it can go in the microwave, leftovers can be warmed and eaten in the same bowl, and because it also goes in the oven, it suits a baked pudding or a small gratin for one. The cream tone sits quietly beside wood, linen and other stoneware, so it is as much at home in a farmhouse kitchen as in a pared-back modern one. It also makes a thoughtful housewarming gift for someone setting up a first kitchen.
It is made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing clay body, and at 0.492KG it has a reassuring weight in the hand without feeling heavy. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it can move from oven to table to sink without a second thought. For a relaxed table, set a few out with plain linen napkins and a wooden board, or stack them on an open shelf where the shaded rim can be seen.
