Description
This set of two fluted stoneware bowls pairs a long oval serving bowl with a round dip bowl that sits neatly inside it. Both have a clean white glaze, with fine vertical ribbing around the lower sides and a smooth band at the rim. Inside the rim of the oval bowl, slim dark lettering reads "CHIP OFF THE OL'BLOCK", while the round bowl answers with "SKINNY DIPPING", a pair of playful puns that suit a bowl of crisps and its dip. Together the set measures 33cm wide, 15cm deep and 7.5cm high, with a capacity of 2300ml, so there is plenty to go round.
It is made for sharing: fill the oval bowl with crisps, tortilla chips, crackers or crudités and spoon a favourite dip, salsa or hummus into the round bowl, then set the pair on the coffee table for a film night or on the kitchen island. Because the dip bowl sits inside the larger one, the set takes up little room on a busy table. The two bowls also work apart, the round one for olives or nuts and the oval one for bread or snacks. As a new home gift it is a thoughtful choice, a cheerful first piece for someone hosting in their own place.
Both pieces are made of stoneware with a glazed white finish, and the fluted outer walls add a gentle texture to the table. For care we suggest washing by hand in warm soapy water and drying with a soft cloth, which keeps the glaze bright and the lettering crisp. Between uses the round bowl stores inside the oval one, so the set tucks into a cupboard as a single piece. For a housewarming, wrap the set with a bag of crisps and a jar of salsa and it is ready for its first evening in use.
