Cylindrical blackened terracotta salad bowl 15 cm

Key measurements for finding the right spot:

• Diameter: 15 cm
• Height: 6 cm
• Weight: 0.65 kg

Everything you need to know about the material:

• Material: terracotta blackened by smoking, unglazed
• Iridescent petroleum blue, rust, and copper hues visible in grazing light
• Metallic deposit left by reduction, unique to each piece
• Vertical sides, flat bottom, high thermal inertia
• Diameter 15 cm, height 6 cm, 650 g
• Oven and microwave safe according to the manufacturer, hand wash

A bowl with straight sides gives the contents a significant height: the sauce doesn't spread out, it remains a full cylinder. This geometric interpretation works particularly well with several of these bowls—three or four aligned on a board—forming a regular composition that round shapes would never achieve.

What you need to know to install and maintain it:

• Soft sponge only; an abrasive pad will remove the iridescence in one pass.
• Lukewarm water and mild soap, no harsh products.
• Dry with a cloth; water that dries on its own leaves limescale marks on reflective surfaces.
• Hand wash.
