Description
The Shama bowl is a small stoneware bowl, 12cm across and 7.5cm tall, holding 335ml. Its outside is covered in loose blue brushwork, broken by bold curved lines that rise in concentric arches from the foot towards the rim, so the pattern changes as you turn the bowl in your hands. Each one is hand decorated, which makes every piece unique: the brushstrokes and the spacing of the arches vary a little from bowl to bowl. The inside is left plain, so whatever you serve sits against a calm background.
At 335ml it is a good size for a breakfast portion of cereal, porridge or yoghurt with fruit, and just as useful in the evening for a side of rice, a salad, dips for the table or a dessert. Because it goes in the microwave, it suits warming leftovers or a small portion of soup at lunchtime. It sits well at the kitchen table for everyday meals, and the bold brushwork earns it a place when friends come round for supper, either as one bowl each or several dotted down the table with nibbles. It would suit anyone who likes their tableware to look handmade rather than factory-perfect.
The bowl is made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-fired material that holds heat well, and it weighs 0.27KG. Care is straightforward: it goes in the dishwasher, it can be used in the microwave and it can go in the oven, so a baked pudding or a small gratin can go straight from oven to table. Because the decoration is done by hand, small differences in the line are part of the piece rather than flaws. For styling, set it beside plain stoneware on a laid table, or place a few along an open shelf, where the curved lines catch the eye between meals.
