Peo Star Stoneware Christmas Bowls 13.5cm Set of 4 - Cream

These are four stoneware bowls for the Christmas table, each 13.5cm across and 7.5cm tall and holding 500ml. Around the outside of every bowl runs a parade of little angel mice, with haloes and wings, some playing a trumpet or a harp, others wearing a crown of candles, beneath a band of stars. The cream exterior keeps the figures bright and easy to read, while the inside is glazed in a deeper contrasting tone that shows each time you look down into the bowl. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, which is why it suits pieces that are used every day.

At 500ml these are generous breakfast bowls rather than small dessert dishes: enough for porridge or cereal on Christmas morning, a ladle of soup at lunch, or a heap of biscuits and sweets set out for guests in the evening. Because they come as four, they cover a family breakfast or a small gathering without odd bowls creeping onto the table. They sit happily on a kitchen table, a dining table or a sideboard through December, and the mice give younger guests something to look for as they eat.

Each bowl has a glazed finish and stands on a small foot. They go in the dishwasher, can be used in the microwave for warming porridge or leftovers, and can go in the oven, so an individual crumble or baked pudding can be made and served in the same bowl. Out of use, they look cheerful on an open kitchen shelf over the holidays rather than hidden in a cupboard. For the table, set one at each place on a plain linen cloth and let the pattern do the decorating.
