Lidded serving bowl

Product Description

A compact, lidded bowl with a clean, practical presence, this piece is sized for individual servings and easy use at the table. It measures 4.6" (11.8 cm) in diameter and 3.2" (8.2 cm) in height, and it is made of porcelain in Japan. The fitted lid gives it a contained, finished look while also making the bowl useful for serving and holding food neatly.

The surface reads simply and clearly, with the form itself doing the work. The appeal here is in the shape, the lidded construction, and the restrained material finish shown in the product listing.

The lidded form makes it distinct from an open bowl and gives it a more contained presentation.

Care is straightforward: it is not microwaveable. Handle the bowl and lid with care to help avoid chipping or cracking.
