Description
This is a wide stoneware bowl shaped like an open flower, with rounded, petal-like lobes that radiate from the centre and swell out to a scalloped rim. It measures 31.5cm across and 14cm tall. That makes it a generous centrepiece rather than an everyday cereal bowl: big enough to read from across a room, yet low enough that its contents stay in view. The whole surface carries a glossy silver glaze that catches the light along every curve and in each groove between the petals, so the shape seems to shift as the light moves through the day. At 2.69KG it has real weight and sits steadily on a table.
The maker approves it for food, so it works as a fruit bowl on the kitchen table or a bread bowl at a weekend breakfast, as well as a decorative piece. In a living room it suits a coffee table or a round side table, where its low, wide profile keeps sightlines clear. On a sideboard or hall console it makes a handsome catch-all for keys and post, or a home for pine cones and dried seed heads in the colder months. It suits anyone who prefers one sculptural object to a clutter of small ones, and it makes a thoughtful housewarming or wedding gift.
Stoneware is fired at high temperatures, which makes it dense and hard-wearing. The glaze deserves a word of its own. The maker notes that, due to its nature, colour variations may occur, and towards the base the finish turns mottled and softer in tone, so each bowl has its own character. It does not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so wash it by hand. For styling, let it stand alone on a wooden table, or fill it with a single kind of fruit, such as lemons or clementines, so the silver petals frame one block of colour.
