Know before you buy
Because each bowl is hand-thrown in the San Francisco Clay Studio, there will be subtle variations in shape and thickness. These slight irregularities are intentional and celebrate the human touch behind the craft.
This layered glaze creates a dynamic, semi-matte surface with rich texture. Because of the kiln firing process, the specific distribution of the glaze varies, meaning no two bowls look exactly the same.
The rim is wiped to reveal the natural clay body, which is durable and fired to a high temperature. While it is sturdy, the exposed clay is slightly more porous than the glazed interior, so it is best to avoid leaving acidic liquids or strong pigments on the rim for extended periods.
The bowl stands 2.5 inches tall, providing a wide, shallow profile. It is ideal for serving large salads, pasta dishes, or as a centerpiece bowl for fruit.
Yes, Heath Ceramics dinnerware is designed for daily use and is both dishwasher and microwave safe. However, we recommend avoiding extreme temperature changes to preserve the integrity of the ceramic.
