Description
This is a generous serving bowl in green stoneware, 28.5cm across and 7cm tall, with a capacity of 3400ml. That low, wide shape is the point of it: food spreads out rather than piling up, so a salad shows every leaf and roasted vegetables sit in a single layer. The reactive glaze is glossy, with fine speckling through the green and a slim darker line running around the rim, and at 1.9KG it has a reassuring weight in the hands and on the table.
It belongs in the middle of the table. Use it for a big summer salad, a pasta dish passed round at a family supper, or a heap of fruit on the kitchen counter between meals. Its size suits gatherings and long Sunday lunches more than single portions. Anyone who cooks for a crowd, or who likes to bring food to the table rather than plate it up in the kitchen, will reach for it often, and it makes a thoughtful housewarming or wedding gift for a keen home cook.
The bowl is 100% stoneware finished in a reactive glaze. Reactive glazes shift in tone as they fire, so the speckling and depth of green vary a little from one bowl to the next. Stoneware is dense and hard wearing, which suits a piece that will see regular use. It is dishwasher safe for easy clearing up and microwave safe for warming through, but it is not oven safe, so serve baked dishes into it rather than cooking in it. The styling props shown are not included. For styling, the green sits well against pale wood, linen and dark tabletops; between meals, leave it out on a sideboard filled with lemons or apples.
