Know before you buy
Because each piece is individually hand-painted using the traditional Quimper technique, no two bowls are identical. You can expect slight variations in brushwork and color intensity, which confirms the authenticity of your unique piece.
This serving bowl measures 10 inches in diameter, making it an ideal size for serving salads or side dishes for a family-style meal.
Every bowl is marked with the 'Henriot' signature and is hand-signed by the resident artist who crafted it. These markings serve as a guarantee of its origin and adherence to the historic 1685 faience tradition.
While this bowl is a functional serving piece, it is a handcrafted work of art made from traditional faience. We recommend handling it with the care typically reserved for artisanal pottery to preserve the integrity of the hand-painted finish.
The bowl is crafted from high-quality ceramic, specifically traditional French faience. This material is known for its smooth finish and is the signature medium for Henriot Quimper’s historic pottery designs.
