Ceramic Serving Bowls

Serving bowls are the workhorses of the Indian table, they travel from kadhai to dining table, keep dal hot through three rounds, and sit right next to a bowl of raita. The collection is built around the way Indian meals actually flow, not the way a stock photo wants them to.

Every bowl is handcrafted from stoneware clay, fired twice at up to 1200 degrees Celsius, and finished with a non-toxic, food-safe, cadmium free glaze. Every piece is bone-ash-free. They don't stain from turmeric or tomato, don't crack in the microwave, and don't fade after a year of dishwasher cycles.

Sizes built for Indian hosting

• 6" cereal / sabzi bowls, individual portions of sabzi, kheer, or raita.
• 8" serving bowls, the everyday workhorse: dal for four, salads, mixed vegetables.
• 10" hosting bowls, biryani, pulao, big-batch sabzi, party fruit salads.
• 12" centrepiece bowls, wedding nights, Sunday family meals, gifting.

Each size is built around the food actually cooked in Indian kitchens, not generic "soup" or "salad" sizes meant for Western menus.
