Know before you buy
To preserve the finish and integrity of the ceramic, we recommend hand washing with mild soap. Avoid using harsh abrasives or putting the bowl in the dishwasher to protect the delicate Buncheong style surface.
With a 9.5-inch diameter and 4.5-inch height, this bowl is well-sized for a generous salad serving for 4 to 6 people. Its deep, rounded shape makes it ideal for tossing greens without spilling.
Buncheong is a traditional Korean ceramic technique characterized by a slip-coated surface that creates a soft, earthy, and slightly rustic appearance. It is celebrated for its minimalist aesthetic and organic texture rather than ornate decoration.
Because each piece is individually crafted by Florence Penault, there will be subtle variations in the finish and pattern. These slight differences are a hallmark of handmade artistry and ensure your bowl is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece.
Yes, the ceramic material is heat-resistant and suitable for serving warm dishes. However, avoid extreme temperature shocks, such as moving it directly from a refrigerator to a hot oven, to prevent potential cracking.
