Large stoneware bowl Sand

Stoneware Bowl / Pasta Bowl

Dimensions: h = 6 cm, ⌀ = 23 cm, volume = approx. 1 l

(Dimensions of received pieces may vary, with a deviation of up to approximately 5 mm)

Hand-thrown and trimmed stoneware bowl, fired twice with a final temperature of 1280 °C. Thanks to its specific shape, this bowl (also known in the culinary world as a pasta bowl) is ideal for serving pasta, hearty salads, creamy soups, or Asian noodles. The upper and inner parts are adorned with a pale satin glaze that creates a subtle contrast with the exposed, naturally textured clay body on the outer bottom.

Each piece is entirely handmade, glazed, and fired by hand. Therefore, there will be slight differences in surface character, color transitions, and dimensions between the photograph and the bowl you receive. These subtle variations give each bowl its own soul.

Thoughtful design for the perfect dining experience

When designing this bowl, I made sure it would not only be beautiful to look at, but above all highly functional at the table:

Ideal shape for sauces: The bowl combines the depth of a classic deep bowl with the width of a shallow plate. The interior has a beautifully rounded bottom with no sharp transitions, which means pasta sauce naturally stays in the centre, doesn't run to the edges, and food is easy to scoop up.

Heat retention: Robust high-fired stoneware has excellent thermal properties. The bowl can retain heat for a long time, keeping your pasta or soup warm throughout the meal.

Comfortable handling: The width of the rim and the overall proportions are balanced so that the bowl sits securely in your hands without feeling unnecessarily heavy on the table.

Safety and care:

All my ceramics are made from high-fired stoneware. For this bowl, I used a beautiful, creamy-milky satin glaze, whose recipe comes from an article by Christine Ladeveze (published in the renowned French magazine La revue de la céramique et du verre).

The surface is stable and contains no lead, cadmium, or other toxic materials. Thanks to the high firing at 1280 °C, both the clay and the glaze are completely vitrified, ensuring that the bowl is highly durable, food-safe, and does not leach any substances.

The bowl is technically dishwasher safe, but I recommend hand washing. It is also best to avoid thermal shock – serve food at approximately 70–80 °C, as sudden temperature changes can cause cracking, similar to glass.

A note on the surface: Matte and satin glazes like this one can be more prone to so-called cutlery marks (fine grey streaks left by metal cutlery – for example, a fork when twirling pasta). Strongly coloured foods may also leave a natural patina on the matte surface over time. The pieces themselves are highly vitrified and fully food-safe. This is simply a natural characteristic of such living surfaces and the trade-off for their captivating aesthetic.

We recommend hand washing. Ceramics can be sensitive to high temperatures and harsh detergents in the dishwasher, which may affect their longevity over time. We do not recommend the microwave, even though the ceramics should survive it. Please keep in mind that this is not a mass-produced factory item, but an individual piece of craftsmanship — treat your mug with care.
