Know before you buy
Because these pieces are handmade by Florence Penault, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the delicate blue glaze. While the ceramic is durable, hand washing is the safest way to ensure your bowl remains in pristine condition for years to come.
Each bowl is crafted individually, meaning you will notice slight variations in the shape and the application of the blue glaze. These subtle differences are intentional and highlight the artisanal nature of the work rather than being considered defects.
Yes, with a diameter of approximately 4.75 to 5 inches and a height of 3.5 inches, it is perfectly sized for a single serving of cereal, soup, or ice cream. The two small handles also make it easy to hold if the contents are warm.
No, the base is designed to sit securely on any flat surface. The irregular shape is purely aesthetic, focusing on the minimalist form of the bowl without compromising its functionality.
The handles are designed as a decorative and functional accent, measuring about 1 inch in size. They are intended for a light grip or to assist in lifting the bowl, rather than for holding the weight of the bowl like a traditional mug handle.
