Pin Cushion Side Bowl

Coming soon

Material

Crafted from high-quality porcelain clay, fired with a semi-matte glaze, and finished with high-quality ceramic transfers.

Craftsmanship Process

Our side bowls are crafted through a precise three-stage firing process. We begin by press-molding the clay body and applying a delicate, semi-matte eggshell glaze with light speckles. The inside of the bowl is hand-sprayed with glaze first, followed by two meticulous spray applications on the exterior to create a smooth, creamy finish. Skilled artisans then carefully hand-transfer the screen-printed pattern around the bowl. After an initial firing, illustrations and the Poppy & Pepper brand stamp are added and the bowl is fired once more to complete the process.

Design

Our side bowl draws inspiration from a 1930s teacup and saucer, featuring an elevated foot and a gently inward-tilting edge. The bowl is adorned with a continuous pattern that frames delicate pincushion illustrations within a semi-window design. Leaves naturally flare out into the bowl, adding a charming touch.

Versatility

Great for a side dish, miso soup, guacamole, steamed rice, and more. It pairs perfectly with our Pin Cushion dinner plate.

Options

Our side bowl is also available in Flannel Flowers side bowl

Note: We photographed our cherished ceramic pieces under studio lighting, but the warmth of the glaze may look slightly different in various lighting conditions. The flow of the glaze can cause speckles to cluster unevenly, leading to variations in their distribution across different pieces. Differences in glaze flow due to hand-dipping and spraying, along with slight variations in the placement of patterns and illustrations, underscore the unique, handcrafted nature of Poppy & Pepper ceramics and are part of their charm

Ideally wares should not touch each other in dishwasher to prevent scratches on glaze.

Sudden temperature change, such as from oven to cold bench, or from freezer to oven, may cause thermal shock and damage your wares. Always place cold dish onto the wire rack in oven and place hot dish on cloth or wooden surface.

Due to the nature of the semi-matte glaze, prolonged contact with harsh metal utensils may leave consistent marks on the surface of glaze. We recommend using wooden or high-quality metal utensils.
