The unique, elongated shape is frequently highlighted as perfect for modern serving, making it a striking centerpiece on any table.

Know before you buy
No, each piece is individually crafted, meaning there will be subtle variations in the Strata pattern and color application. These unique characteristics are intentional and ensure that your bowl is one-of-a-kind.
This bowl is designed for both function and display. Because it is kiln-fired at extremely high temperatures, the stoneware is highly resilient and perfectly suitable for everyday serving.
While the high-temperature firing makes the stoneware durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the handmade finish and the richness of the Bordeaux glaze over time.
As a large serving piece, this bowl is designed to hold a significant amount of food, such as a large salad, pasta, or fruit arrangement. Its handmade ceramic construction gives it a solid, weighted feel that sits securely on your table.
The oblong shape is designed to be a centerpiece, so it is best suited for open shelving or a sideboard. While it may take up more linear space than a round bowl, its unique silhouette makes it a striking focal point for your dining room.
