Description
This is a set of four stoneware bowls, each one handpainted with a multicoloured floral pattern of tulip-like flowers, small blossoms and long leaves drawn in fine outline. What makes them stand apart is the handle: shaped like a little bird and set against the side of each bowl, it gives your fingers a good hold and the table a touch of humour. Each bowl is 13cm across and 8cm tall and holds 720ml, which puts it firmly in generous bowl territory rather than dainty dish size.
At 720ml these are proper soup, noodle and breakfast bowls: deep enough for a ladle of broth, a heap of ramen or porridge with all the toppings. The handle makes them easy to carry from the hob to the sofa or to cradle on a cold morning, and the shape suits a big milky coffee or hot chocolate for anyone who likes a drink in both hands. Four of them cover a couple or a small household, and they make a cheerful gift for someone setting up a first kitchen.
They are made entirely of stoneware, a dense ceramic that holds heat well, which is welcome in a soup bowl. Care is simple: they go in the dishwasher, they can be warmed in the microwave and they can go in the oven, handy for keeping a portion hot or baking a small crumble. The inside is plain, which lets whatever you serve show clearly and keeps the busy pattern on the outside. For styling, we would let these bowls be the pattern on the table and pair them with plain plates and simple linen so the flowers and birds carry the look.
