Description
This is a deep stoneware bowl in grey, 15cm across and 8cm tall, holding 700ml. That capacity makes it a proper everyday bowl for breakfast cereal, porridge, soup or a noodle supper, generous without crowding the table. Its sides rise in a soft, rounded curve from a small base to a gently uneven rim, and the reactive glaze carries a fine speckle across the surface, so the grey looks lively rather than flat. Being 100% stoneware, it has a reassuring weight in the hand at 0.464KG.
It belongs on the breakfast table and the kitchen table alike, in the dining room for a relaxed supper, or on a tray for soup on the sofa. Because it is microwave safe, leftovers can be warmed in the bowl itself, and because it is oven safe it suits a baked pudding, a gratin portion or a crumble for one. The quiet grey sits easily with wood, linen and pale walls, and it is a good choice for anyone building a calm, mixed table rather than a matched one.
Stoneware is fired at a high temperature, which gives a dense, hard-wearing body suited to daily use. The finish is a reactive glaze, and a reactive glaze responds to the heat of the kiln, so the speckle and the depth of the grey vary a little from bowl to bowl. Care is simple: it is dishwasher safe, so it can go straight in with the rest of the dishes after a meal. We like it stacked on a plate of a similar tone with a folded napkin tucked beside it, letting the uneven rim do the work.
