Description
This is a wide stoneware bowl, 26cm across and 12cm tall, with broad blue stripes painted by hand down the outside and a matching ring of stripes fanning across the inside. It holds 3250ml, which makes it a serving bowl rather than one for a single portion: the size you set in the middle of the table for everyone to help themselves. Inside, the stripes stop short of the base, leaving a plain round centre in the speckled glaze, and the bowl stands on a raised foot in a contrasting tone that lifts it neatly off the table.
It belongs in the kitchen and at the dining table. It is food safe, so it is ready for a big leafy salad, a family helping of pasta, warm bread rolls or a pile of fruit left out on the worktop between meals. The 26cm width gives you room to toss a salad, and the deep sides keep a generous serving together on its way round the table. A boldly striped bowl like this suits anyone who likes their tableware with a bit of character, and it makes a welcome present for a new home or for the friend who always ends up hosting.
Every stripe is painted by hand, and you can see the brushstrokes at the edge of each one, the mark of handpainted work rather than a printed pattern. The bowl is 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and it weighs 1.43KG. It goes in the dishwasher for everyday washing up, but it is not for the microwave or the oven, so serve from it rather than heat food in it. When it is off duty, leave it out on an open shelf or a kitchen island with a few lemons in it, where the stripes bring life to a plain wall or worktop.
