Canvas Coupe Bowl | Black Serve Bowl | 230mm Diameter | Olympia FA320

Q: Is the black finish a coating that can scratch off?

A: No, the colour is part of the stoneware's glaze itself, which is fused to the body during firing. It's incredibly durable and  won't flake or peel off with normal use and  washing.

Q: Will the pattern on every bowl be exactly the same?

A: No, due to the reactive glaze process, each bowl will have a unique, subtle pattern. This is a deliberate design feature that gives the collection its artisan charm.

Q: What are the benefits of stoneware compared to standard porcelain?

A: Stoneware generally has a more robust, earthy feel and  is excellent at retaining heat. It’s known for its durability and  resistance to chipping, making it a great choice for bustling restaurants.

Q: Can these bowls go directly into a hot salamander grill or under a broiler?

A: While they are oven-safe for baking or warming, they are not designed for the intense, direct heat of a salamander or broiler, which could cause thermal shock and  damage.

Q: Does the unglazed foot risk scratching tables?

A: The foot is fired to be smooth and  is designed to prevent slipping, not to scratch. On very delicate or vintage wood surfaces, using a placemat is always a good precaution.

Q: How well do they stack?

A: They are designed to be stackable for efficient storage. They create a stable, neat stack, which is ideal for busy kitchen environments where space is at a premium.

Q: Is the 600ml capacity measured to the rim?

A: Yes, the stated capacity is typically the liquid volume when filled to the brim. For practical serving, the usable capacity for liquids would be slightly less to avoid spillage.

Q: Are these suitable for serving acidic foods like tomato-based sauces?

A: Absolutely. The vitrified glaze creates a non-porous barrier, so the bowls will not stain or react with acidic ingredients.
