Strawberry Glazed Ceramic Sugar Bowl with Lid 290ml - Red

This strawberry sugar bowl is shaped like a ripe red berry, with a lid that lifts away by its green stalk. It is made from ceramic with a glazed finish, so the bright red body has a soft shine, and the whole surface is raised with little seed shapes, many of them picked out in yellow. A ring of leafy green sepals spreads across the top of the lid around a deep green stalk that doubles as a handle, and inside the bowl is a plain cream. It stands 12.2cm tall, 9.9cm wide and 10cm deep, and holds 290ml, which is room for a good supply of sugar without taking up much space.

We think it suits a farmhouse kitchen, a breakfast table or a tea tray set out for friends, where the bright red brings a summery note even on a grey morning. The lid sits neatly on the rim and keeps what is inside covered between cups, and the compact size means it tucks beside a teapot or a milk jug with ease. It is just as happy away from the tea things: on a dresser shelf or a kitchen windowsill it makes a cheerful fruity accent, and it can hold sugar cubes, sweetener sachets or small wrapped sweets.

The bowl and lid are ceramic, finished in a smooth glaze over the raised seed texture, and the chunky stalk is easy to take hold of when you lift the lid. For everyday care, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and dry it well, and handle it as you would any glazed ceramic, since a knock against a hard worktop can chip the glaze. Set it beside a plain white teapot for a pop of colour, or wrap it with a bag of loose leaf tea or a jar of strawberry jam for a cheerful gift that will brighten a kitchen.
