Description
This ceramic serving bowl takes the shape of a broad autumn leaf, with a little robin perched on its rim as though it has just landed. The leaf is glazed in a warm orange that softens towards the centre, its raised veins running out to pointed edges that curl gently upwards. The robin sits to one side, his red breast, brown wings and pale belly picked out in fine detail, right down to the dark feet gripping the edge. It measures 21.3cm wide, 21.9cm deep and 9.5cm high and holds 300ml, generous enough to be useful without crowding the table.
On a kitchen table, a dresser or a sideboard, it brings a touch of the countryside indoors through the cooler months. We like it piled with a few satsumas and apples, holding nuts or wrapped sweets on a coffee table, or simply sitting empty on a windowsill where the robin can catch the light. Its open, shallow shape keeps whatever it holds easy to reach, and at 21.3cm wide it sits comfortably at the centre of a dining table or at the end of a buffet. Anyone who loves garden birds will know the robin at a glance, and it suits a farmhouse kitchen as happily as a modern one.
The bowl is made from ceramic, with a smooth, glossy glaze across the leaf and softly sculpted feathers on the robin. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away, taking a little care around the beak and tail. When you lift it, hold it by the leaf rather than the bird. Set it beside a few candles and pine cones for a warm seasonal table, or give it a spot on an open shelf where the robin can keep watch over the room.
