Description
This round earthenware cereal bowl carries a classic red tractor on one side, set against a soft cream finish and edged with a fine red line around the rim. The tractor is drawn in a bold, simple style, with a bright red bonnet, a tall exhaust, a steering wheel and seat, small front wheels and a big rear wheel with chunky black tyres and grey hubs. The other side is left plain cream, so the picture has room to stand out on its own. The bowl is 6.9cm tall and 14.9cm across, a comfortable everyday size for breakfast.
It is at home in a farmhouse or country kitchen, on a breakfast table where everyone has a favourite bowl, or on an open shelf or dresser where the tractor can be seen from across the room. At 14.9cm across it holds a generous helping of cereal or porridge, and it works just as well for soup, a side salad, fruit or a pudding. The rounded sides rise to 6.9cm, deep enough to keep a splash of milk in the bowl rather than on the table. It brings a little of the countryside to the start of the day, and a tractor is a picture that people of all ages tend to enjoy.
The bowl is made from earthenware, a traditional ceramic, with a gently rounded profile that rises from a neat foot to the red-lined rim. As with most decorated earthenware, a little care keeps it looking its best: we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water, drying it well and steering clear of harsh scourers that could wear the picture over time. Set it out with plain cream or red tableware for a relaxed country look, mix it in with odd bowls on the dresser, or wrap it as a cheerful gift for anyone who loves the farmyard.
