Know before you buy
Yes, the bowl is both microwave and dishwasher safe, making it practical for daily meals and easy cleanup.
The bowl has an 11-fluid-ounce capacity. While it is wide at 9.5 inches, its 2-inch height makes it better suited for thicker soups, stews, or pasta dishes rather than large portions of broth-heavy soups.
Each bowl is designed and handcrafted in Sausalito, California, at the Heath Ceramics studio.
A portion of the proceeds from this specific collaboration goes directly to the Edible Schoolyard Project, which promotes sustainable food education and healthy school lunches.
The bowl was created in collaboration with Alice Waters and Christina Kim, drawing inspiration from the functional, timeless design of classic French restaurant ware.
