6″ SeaStone Stoneware Bowl — 10 oz

The rounded body rises from a low foot to a narrow circular rim. Its dark blue-black mottling gives rice, vegetables and small soup servings a rich contrasting backdrop.

The bowl measures 6 inches in diameter and holds 10 oz. Pair it with a separate plate when serving a larger meal.

Serve a few cucumber and radish pickles as a separate accompaniment. The 10 oz bowl keeps the side distinct from food on a larger plate, with much of the blue-black and earthy interior visible.

Use a small fork or chopsticks for the pieces. Other vegetables or fruit can fill the same side-course role without crowding the rim.
