Shine Pebble Stoneware Bowl 23cm - Silver

Our Shine bowl is a shallow stoneware bowl with a plated silver finish so bright it works like a curved mirror, catching the light and the colours of everything around it. It is 23cm across and 5.5cm tall, and the shape is softer than a classic bowl: the outline is round but gently uneven, a thick, rolled rim swells outward like a smooth pebble, and the centre dips into a low, faintly rippled hollow. At 1.2KG it has real weight in the hand, which is the stoneware body at work, since stoneware is a dense material.

Wide and shallow, it is a decorative bowl first, at home on a coffee table, a sideboard or the middle of a dining table, where the reflective surface brings brightness to a quiet spot. It is also food safe, so it can earn its place when guests visit: clementines in winter, olives and salted nuts with drinks, or wrapped sweets on a party table. The low sides suit foods that sit neatly rather than anything runny. In a hallway it makes a handsome catch-all for keys, and on a dressing table it keeps rings and bracelets overnight. It suits anyone who likes one bright, polished piece among wood, linen and stone.

The bowl is stoneware with a plated finish, and that finish decides the care. It is not dishwasher safe, so wash it by hand in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth; plated surfaces scratch under scourers, so a soft sponge is the better choice. It is not microwave safe or oven safe either, so keep it for serving and display rather than warming anything. For styling, let the shine do the work: set it on a plain wooden surface where it can mirror the grain, and fill it sparingly, since a few pieces show off the polished hollow better than a heaped bowl.

Can I serve food in the Shine bowl?

Yes. It is food safe, so it suits fruit, nuts, olives or wrapped sweets, though its shallow shape is best for foods that sit neatly rather than anything runny.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

No. It is not dishwasher safe, so wash it by hand with a soft sponge and dry it with a soft cloth. It is not microwave safe or oven safe either.

How big is the bowl?

It is 23cm across and 5.5cm tall, a wide, shallow shape that sits well on a coffee table, a sideboard or the middle of a dining table.

What is the bowl's material?

The body is stoneware, with a plated finish that gives the silver surface its mirror-like shine. It weighs 1.2KG, so it feels solid and substantial in the hand.

Is the outline perfectly round?

Not quite. The outline is round but gently uneven, with a thick, rolled rim and a softly rippled hollow, which gives the bowl a relaxed, pebble-like look.
