Description
These round stoneware bowls come as a set of 4, each with a plated silver finish. Every bowl is 12cm across and 6cm tall and holds 250ml, which makes it a small bowl: the right size for a dessert, a handful of nuts or olives, a dip or a sauce. The shape is simple and rounded, with gently curved sides rising from a narrow foot, and the silver covers the outside and the inside alike, so each bowl catches the light from a candle or a window. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, a solid base for a plated finish.
They are made for food, so they belong on the table as much as on a shelf. We like them for festive gatherings, where the silver sits happily among candlelight, greenery and pale linen, and for afternoon tea, filled with biscuits beside the teapot. Four matching bowls suit a small dinner party: one dessert for each guest, or a row of nibbles down the centre of the table. Away from mealtimes they work just as well on a dressing table or a hallway console, holding rings, keys or loose change, and they make a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes a little shine at home.
The finish is plating over the stoneware body, which gives the bowls their bright, reflective shine. They do not go in the dishwasher, so wash them by hand, and they are not for the microwave or the oven, so heat food in a separate dish and serve it in these bowls. The styling props shown are not included. For styling, the silver looks best against soft, plain backgrounds such as linen, cream or pale wood, where its reflections stay crisp; group all four on a tray, or space them along a table so the light moves from one bowl to the next.
