Ceramic Bowls

Which of our ceramic bowls suits your everyday life?

Ceramic bowls are deep, round vessels made of fired clay that hold food, keep it warm and, depending on their size, work for everything from breakfast to the dining table.

Whether it's a small muesli bowl, a wide bowl or a large serving bowl, what matters is volume, wall thickness and glaze. Here you'll find guidance so you can choose exactly the shape that suits your food and your tableware.

Which bowl is best for what?

Which bowl suits you depends mostly on volume: small dishes hold dips and nuts, medium ones muesli and soup, and large ones salad for the whole table.

The values in the table are practical guidelines. You'll find the exact dimensions on each product page.

Type Volume (guide) Use
Dip dish approx. 100–200 ml Sauces, dips, olives, nuts
Muesli bowl approx. 400–600 ml Muesli, yoghurt, fruit, porridge
Soup bowl approx. 500–700 ml Soup, stew, pasta
Bowl approx. 600–900 ml Buddha bowl, poke, rice dishes
Salad bowl approx. 1–3 l Salad for several people
Serving bowl approx. 1–2.5 l Side dishes, vegetables, pasta at the table

“A good bowl sits calmly in your hand and becomes a little more familiar with every use.”

Bowl or dish – what's the difference?

A bowl is usually wider and shallower than a classic deep bowl, so ingredients sit side by side; the classic deep bowl is taller and holds more liquid.

For a Buddha bowl you need room to arrange everything: rice or grains, vegetables, protein and toppings should all stay visible. For soup or muesli with milk, a deeper shape is more practical. Browse our bowls if you're looking for wide shapes.

  • Earthenware: Warm in tone, with reactive glazes that vary slightly from piece to piece.
  • Stoneware: Fired harder and very robust, often with a matt or shimmering glaze.
  • Porcelain: Thin-walled, light and classic, with a bright ring when tapped.
  • Shape: Wide and shallow for bowls, deep and narrow for soup and muesli.

Which salad bowls and serving bowls work for the dining table?

For the table, salad and serving bowls of about one litre or more work best, with a calm glaze that goes with your tableware and presents food in an open, inviting way.

Allow roughly 150 to 200 ml of salad per person, plus room for tossing. Our salad bowls are wide enough for this, and small dip dishes round off the table with sauces and little extras.

The key points at a glance

Choose the volume to suit the dish, the shape to suit how you'll use it and the material to suit your taste. Earthenware feels warm, stoneware robust, porcelain refined. All the bowls in this selection are dishwasher safe, and almost all are microwave safe.

How do bowl sets complement my tableware?

Bowl sets consist of several matching bowls and complement your existing tableware when you need matching pieces for guests, breakfast or bowl nights.

Many ranges come in several designs, for example Riviera with eight, Uniq with four, and Circle, Azulejo Blu, Azulejo Noir, Color, Nordic Frost and Bronzo with three bowls each. That way you can mix colours and sizes. You'll find matching bowl sets collected on a page of their own.

How do I care for a ceramic bowl properly?

It's best to care for ceramic bowls gently: all models in this selection are dishwasher safe, but avoid sudden temperature changes and hard knocks on the rim.

Don't put hot bowls straight onto a cold surface, and don't cool them down abruptly. Fine crazing in the glaze or signs of use can occur with earthenware and are part of the material. Microwave guidance is given on each product page.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are ceramic bowls?

Ceramic bowls are deep vessels made of fired, glazed clay. Depending on the material, such as earthenware, stoneware or porcelain, they differ in weight, robustness and look. They're suitable for muesli, soup, salad and much more.

What size do I need for a muesli bowl?

For a ceramic muesli bowl, about 400 to 600 ml is a good guide. That gives you room for muesli, milk or yoghurt and toppings without it spilling over. If you like a big breakfast, go for the larger end of the range.

What makes an earthenware bowl special?

An earthenware bowl is denser than terracotta and feels warm and cosy. The reactive glazes show slight differences from piece to piece, which is part of the craft and not a flaw. This gives every bowl its own character.

Which bowl is suitable for a Buddha bowl?

A wide bowl with a volume of about 600 to 900 ml is ideal for a Buddha bowl. The broad opening leaves room to arrange grains, vegetables, protein and toppings separately. A moderate depth keeps dressing and sauces nicely together.

Are the bowls dishwasher safe and microwave safe?

All the bowls in this selection are dishwasher safe. Almost all are microwave safe; the few exceptions are noted on the relevant product page. Still, avoid sudden temperature changes so the material and glaze stay beautiful for a long time.

Will the bowls go with my existing tableware?

Usually, yes: calm glazes such as Nordic Frost or Bronzo combine well with plain-coloured tableware. Patterned ranges such as Azulejo look best alongside simple plates. Mix colours deliberately and you'll create a harmonious, lively look on the table.
