I make these stoneware bowls 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. They can be used as baking dishes, & they are oven & dishwasher safe. The glazes ‘fit’ the clay. They can be used in a conventional oven as baking dishes, dishwasher safe too. I don’t recommend using them in microwaves. They are very chip resistant & with minimal care, will last you a lifetime. These noodle or soup bowls will make a stunning table setting. They hold about 30 oz of liquid. THIS LISTING IS FOR ONE BOWL, ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE SEVERAL AVAILABLE OR SHOWN in THE PICTURE. The color: Mottled Blue is a mostly deep, interesting blue glaze with bold brown undertones. This glaze has almost iridescent qualities. I can custom make you these type bowls in a different color if you would like, just ask. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
