Know before you buy
Yes, these are designed as functional kitchenware. While they are pieces of art, they are durable enough for everyday food preparation and mixing.
Each bowl is wheel-thrown and hand-finished, so you should expect slight variations in shape and glaze application. These subtle differences are intentional and part of the character of handmade pottery.
While the ceramic material is high-quality, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the white wash finish over time. Please use caution if using them in the microwave, as handmade pottery can sometimes react differently to rapid temperature changes.
The bowls range from 6.75 to 8.25 inches in width, offering a variety of capacities for different tasks. The center bowl is the widest at 8.25 inches, while the left bowl provides the most depth at 5.75 inches, making them versatile for everything from prepping ingredients to serving salads.
The finish is durable, but because it is a hand-applied wash over natural clay, it is best to avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface. A soft sponge and mild dish soap are sufficient for cleaning.
