A wide, shallow bowl with a 4 cm well and a broad flat rim — the shape that works for pasta, a grain bowl, a stew, or soup that is not quite soup. The rim gives you somewhere to hold it when the contents are hot, which a straight-sided bowl does not.
It holds 700 ml to the brim and about 500 ml to a sensible fill. Heavier than it looks: the wall is thickened through the curve so it holds heat, and a plate of pasta stays warm noticeably longer than it does on a thin bowl.
The material record
Everything we know about this piece, stated plainly. The same record is printed on the card in the box.
- Body & glaze
- Buff iron-speckled stoneware body, satin bone-white glaze, food-safe and lead-free. Fired to 1240°C (cone 6) in an electric kiln.
- Dimensions
- Ø 24 cm × 4.6 cm high, 4 cm well depth
- Weight
- 710 g
- Finish & variation
- Satin matte glaze, pooling very slightly darker where the well meets the rim — that pooling is where the glaze is thickest and it differs from bowl to bowl. Speckle varies. The rim is slightly irregular.
- Made
- Thrown, glazed and fired in northern Portugal.
Care
- Dishwasher-safe on any normal cycle. Load so pieces do not knock against each other — chips come from contact, not from water.
- Microwave-safe. There is no metal in the body or the glaze.
- Safe in a conventional oven to 180°C, provided the piece goes into a cold oven and heats with it.
- Wash off acidic foods — tomato, citrus, vinegar — within a few hours rather than leaving them to stand overnight.
Cautions
- Not for the freezer, the broiler, or a direct flame. Stoneware fails by thermal shock, and the crack is immediate and total.
- Do not move a piece straight from a hot oven onto a cold or wet surface, or run cold water into a hot dish.
- Cutlery leaves grey metal marks on a satin glaze. They are surface only and lift with a damp cloth and a little bicarbonate of soda.
- The unglazed foot ring is deliberately left raw and is slightly abrasive — lift rather than drag across a polished table.
