Malt Chip Pot | Dessert Bowl | 310ml Capacity | Utopia GM033

Q: Will the colour of the bowl I receive be exactly like the photo?

A: Due to the nature of the reactive glaze, each bowl has a unique pattern and  slight colour variations. This is a deliberate feature that adds to its charm, so no two are identical.

Q: Are these bowls heavy?

A: For stoneware, they have a solid feel without being overly heavy, making them easy for staff to carry in multiples.

Q: Do they get very hot in the microwave?

A: Yes, like any stoneware or ceramic item, the bowl itself will get hot when microwaved. We recommend using oven gloves to handle it.

Q: How resistant are they to chipping?

A: They are designed for commercial use and  are robust. However, like all stoneware, a hard knock against a surface can cause a chip, so they should be handled with reasonable care.

Q: Can I stack them high?

A: They can be stacked, but due to their shape, they won't form a perfectly neat, vertical stack. We advise stacking them in short, stable piles.

Q: What's the main difference between this stoneware and  standard porcelain?

A: Stoneware, like this bowl, typically has a more rustic, earthy, and  robust feel. Porcelain is generally thinner, lighter, and  has a more refined, translucent quality.

Q: Is the glaze on the inside and  outside?

A: Yes, the reactive glaze covers the entire bowl, giving it a consistent and  high-quality finish all over.

Q: Is the base of the bowl glazed?

A: The very bottom rim (the foot) is typically unglazed to ensure stability in the kiln, which is standard for most stoneware and  ceramic items.
