Know before you buy
Yes, because each piece is handcrafted in Sausalito, you can expect subtle differences in color and texture. These variations are a hallmark of the artisanal process and mean no two bowls are exactly alike.
The exposed clay is durable and designed for daily use, but it is porous compared to the glazed surface. To keep it looking its best, avoid leaving it in standing water for extended periods and clean it promptly after use.
The Rim line is specifically engineered for efficient storage. The bowls are designed to nest securely, making them easy to stack in your cupboard without taking up excessive vertical space.
Yes, these bowls are fully microwave safe. They are crafted from durable ceramic that can withstand standard reheating temperatures.
The 11-ounce capacity is ideal for a generous scoop of ice cream, a serving of pudding, or a small fruit salad. It is sized specifically for individual portions rather than large mixing or serving tasks.
