That sloped profile is what makes it: it opens the bowl up so a salad can be seen rather than buried, and it gives serving spoons somewhere natural to rest. Deep enough at the centre to hold a proper quantity, shallow enough at the sides to serve from easily. Food, dishwasher and microwave safe throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"divider\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"section-label\"\u003eWhat sets it apart\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"section-heading\"\u003eThe detail that makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"section-body\"\u003eA round serving bowl hides its contents; this one presents them. \u003cstrong\u003eThe dipped, elongated rim gives the bowl an open, low-sided profile along its length, so dressed leaves, roasted vegetables, fruit or a grain salad sit visible and reachable instead of piled in a well\u003c\/strong\u003e. The beading follows that sweeping curve rather than a flat circle, which gives the edge real movement and makes the piece look considerably more expensive than a plain bowl of the same size. It's clean white, so it flatters colourful food and mixes with anything already on the table, and at 33cm it's a proper centrepiece for four to six without dominating the space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collection-callout\"\u003e\n\u003csvg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 18\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#8b6f4e\" stroke-width=\"1.2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" style=\"flex-shrink:0;margin-top:2px;\"\u003e\u003crect rx=\"1\" height=\"11\" width=\"16\" y=\"5\" x=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/rect\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M5 5V4a3 3 0 0 1 6 0v1\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bowls-and-dishes\" title=\"Shop ceramic bowls and dishes at CharlesTed Home\"\u003ebowls and dishes\u003c\/a\u003e range — pair with the matching Alverton beaded plates in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/crockery\" title=\"Shop ceramic crockery and tableware at CharlesTed Home\"\u003ecrockery\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"suits-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eClassic\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eCoastal\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eFarmhouse\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eTraditional\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eMinimal\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eContemporary\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"divider\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-label\"\u003eGood to know\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eWhat size is it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eThe bowl measures 33cm long by 22cm across and stands 12.5cm at its highest point, weighing 1.75kg.
