Set of three black smoked terracotta bowls

Key measurements for finding the right spot:

• Large oval dish: 16 x 14 cm
• Height of the large dish: 8 cm
• Two smaller round dishes on a foot, smaller
• Total weight: 0.8 kg

Everything you need to know about the material:

• Set of three non-identical pieces: one large oval bowl and two small round dishes
• Unglazed terracotta, blackened by smoke firing
• Tin reflections, light areas, and variable ochre halos
• Saddle rim on the large bowl, turned foot on the small ones
• No surface color applied
• Total weight 800 g

The contrast in scale within the same set is what makes this trio useful: the large cup provides volume, while the two smaller ones establish a rhythm around it. Arranged together on a dark board, they are enough to create a serving set, without any other dishes.

What you need to know to install and maintain it:

• Empty after each use, unglazed earthenware absorbs what is left in it
• Hand wash with lukewarm water and very little soap
• Never leave scented oil in a dish
• Dry completely before stacking in a closed cupboard
