Know before you buy
No, this bowl is not food safe. It is intended for decorative use or as a display piece rather than for direct contact with food.
Because the bowl is not dishwasher safe, you should clean it by hand. Use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and water, and ensure it is dried thoroughly.
No, this piece is not microwave safe. The stoneware material and soda-fired finish are not designed to withstand the rapid temperature changes of microwave heating.
The bowl is wheel-thrown and soda-fired in a reduced atmosphere to cone 9. This process creates a distinctive, unglazed matte finish that highlights the raw, natural character of the stoneware clay.
Each bowl is individually handcrafted by Stuart Gair, meaning there may be slight variations in form and texture. The listed dimensions of 7.25 x 7.25 x 4 inches are approximate to the artist's design.
