Jars Maguelone Bowl / 23cm / Orage

A medium-sized serving bowl from Jars’ Maguelone range, made in France using time-honoured and eco-friendly techniques.

—DETAILS— Established in 1857, Jars Ceramistes makes ultra-durable plates, bowls, cups, and serving pieces in distinct colours and shapes. They fire clay just once at the high temperature of 1280C rather than the standard three times an eco-friendly practice that results in hard-wearing ceramics that resist cracking, chipping and fading. They hold up to frequent microwave and dishwasher-use, even in professional kitchens. Their Maguelone range is a Borough Kitchen favourite, with windswept edges and ‘crackled’ non-porous glazes in soft colours that look lovely when mixed and matched. This medium-sized (23cm) serving bowl is a wonderful piece for both entertaining and everyday use at home.

This piece can be pre-heated in a low oven (max 150C) from room temperature. It should not be used for cooking. At 200C, particularly when using oil, the crackled-effect on the glaze can open and let the colours of cooked foods in, changing the appearance in a way that’s impossible to remove.

—BENEFITS— ‘Jars plates, bowls and cups aren’t just beautiful. They are strong enough to withstand daily use in home or restaurant kitchens, maintaining their lustre after countless dishwasher cycles.’
