I make these stoneware pieces with my hands, throwing them on the potter’s wheel using local clays. I make all my own glazes & they are completely food safe. The stoneware items that I make are very sturdy, the glazes ‘fit’ the clay, & they can be used as baking dishes, oven & dishwasher safe. They are very chip resistant & with minimal care, will last you a lifetime. This bowl will also make a great seafood serving bowl as it is low & shallow, but quite wide. You could also use it for a large salad bowl or an accent bowl on your table. MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROXIMATE: 16" WIDE X 4.38" TALL THIS LISTING IS FOR ONE SERVER, SHIPPING INCLUDED WITHIN THE CONTIGIOUS US. Handmade wares will have variations. That is what makes them beautiful & unique. The pictures are representative of what you will receive, not the actual product as I will custom make it for you. But it will be close to what’s pictured. I can custom make you these type bowls in a different color if you would like, just ask. Let me know if you have any questions & thank you for looking & potentially buying my pottery - Ed Made To Order - Seafood Serving Bowl, Accent Rustic Country Stoneware Pottery, Ceramic Tray in Mottled Blue Glaze, Apx 16"W X 4.38"H
