Know before you buy
Yes, they are crafted from high-fired stoneware, which is durable enough to withstand both microwave heating and regular dishwasher cycles without compromising the glaze.
Because the indigo reactive glaze is applied by hand, you should expect slight variations in color and pattern between each bowl. This unique character is a hallmark of the design, meaning no two pieces are identical.
Each bowl holds 17 ounces, which is an ideal size for a standard serving of rice, a hearty portion of soup, or a generous bowl of ice cream.
The bowls measure 5 inches in diameter and stand 3 inches tall, making them compact enough for easy storage while still being deep enough for versatile use.
Absolutely. The high-fired stoneware is heat-resistant and sturdy, making these bowls perfectly suitable for hot dishes like ramen, oatmeal, or steamed rice.
