Description
This is a small decorative bowl made from stoneware ceramic, finished with a reactive glaze in shades of inky blue and smoky grey. Measuring 14.2cm wide, 14.2cm deep and 4.7cm high, it has a rounded, sculptural profile that sits low and full. The reactive glaze pools and flows across the surface, so the pattern shifts between deep blue and pale mottled grey. Because the glaze reacts during firing, no two bowls carry exactly the same markings, giving each piece its own character. It weighs around 0.33kg and rests on a neat footed base.
We think this bowl suits a shelf, sideboard, console or coffee table where its rounded shape and tonal glaze can be seen from the side. Use it to hold trinkets, jewellery, keys or potpourri, or leave it empty as a considered piece within a wider grouping. The blue and grey palette works well against neutral walls, natural wood and calm interiors, and it sits comfortably alongside other ceramic pieces in brown or blue tones. Cluster it with candles and vases of varying heights for a layered tabletop, or let it stand alone as a quiet focal point.
The bowl is made from tactile stoneware with a high shine, smooth reactive glaze that has an organic, fluid finish. It is hand-finished, so slight variation in glaze and tone is part of its making rather than a fault. To care for it, wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry gently. Avoid harsh abrasives and scouring pads that could mark the glossy surface. As a decorative piece rather than tableware, we suggest keeping it out of the dishwasher and away from knocks that might chip the ceramic edge.
