Sandrine Stoneware Bowl 32cm - Grey

This is a wide, shallow serving bowl in grey stoneware, 32cm across and 10cm tall, finished in a reactive glaze with a fine speckle across the surface and a darker edge along the rim. At 32cm across it is a serving size rather than a single portion: the bowl you set down in the middle of the table for everyone to help themselves. Stoneware is dense and hard wearing and holds heat well, and at 1.812KG this piece has a reassuring weight in the hands. The rim runs in a gently uneven line, so the bowl never looks stiff or uniform.

It belongs on the dining table and the kitchen worktop. Fill it with a leafy salad for a summer lunch, a pasta dish for a family supper or roast vegetables for a Sunday spread, and pass it round. Between meals it makes a generous fruit bowl on the counter or at the centre of the table. The quiet grey glaze sits happily with white plates, wooden boards and bolder tableware alike, so it suits a weekday supper as easily as a long dinner with friends or a buffet at a family gathering.

It is made entirely of stoneware and goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm a dish through, bring it to the table in the same bowl and load it into the dishwasher afterwards. A reactive glaze shifts as it is fired, so the speckle and the shading at the rim vary a little from one bowl to the next, and yours will be its own. For styling, give it room: set it on a bare wooden table or a linen runner with space around it, and let a bowl this wide hold the centre on its own rather than crowding it with other serving dishes.
