Deep plum on the outside, a cook's garden on the inside. This little ceramic bowl wears a solid aubergine glaze, and the cream interior is ringed with hand-drawn-style vegetables near the rim — onions, tomatoes, garlic, and cabbage leaves, all sketched in the same plum line-work, with a purple-finished edge to tie it together. About 5.5 inches across and nicely deep, it's the right size for a bowl of soup, a scoop of cereal, a single salad, or whatever needs tidying into one pretty spot. Marked Shonfeld's USA on the base, and made to be used: microwave and dishwasher safe. Details

Kitchen Garden Ceramic Bowl — Aubergine Glaze with Hand-Drawn Vegetables

Contemporary

Kitchen-Garden Ceramic Serveware

This bowl comes from the estate of a lifelong gardener — someone who grew vegetables as happily as flowers and cooked what the garden gave. Its border of onions, tomatoes, garlic, and cabbage leaves reads like a shorthand for a good kitchen: the humble things that start a soup or fill a salad bowl. It is the kind of everyday piece that lived on the table rather than behind cabinet glass.

The base is marked Shonfeld's USA, Made in China — a housewares importer's stamp rather than an artisan's, which places this in contemporary production. There is no rare-maker cachet here, and none is needed. It's an honest, cheerful bowl with a cook's sense of humor about where good food comes from: aubergine outside, a kitchen garden inside, microwave and dishwasher safe, and built to keep working at the table.

Materials Glazed ceramic; aubergine exterior, cream interior with a printed vegetable border and purple rim edge.
Care Marked microwave and dishwasher safe. For lasting shine, hand washing and avoiding hard knocks against other dishes will keep the glaze and printed vegetable border bright for years.

Some dishes are meant for the china cabinet. This one was meant for the kitchen, and you can tell. It's a deep little ceramic bowl in a solid aubergine glaze — that rich, glossy plum you don't see nearly enough of — and the real charm waits on the inside. Against a cream ground, a border of kitchen-garden vegetables rings the rim: onions, tomatoes, garlic, and cabbage leaves, drawn in a loose, hand-sketched line in the same plum tone, finished off with a purple edge. It came from an estate whose owner kept a garden, and the bowl fits that to a tee. This is farm-to-table before anyone put a name to it — the sort of dish you'd fill with soup from a pot that started with your own onions and garlic. About 5.5 inches across and satisfyingly deep, it's an individual-size bowl that earns its keep: soup, cereal, a single salad, a handful of berries, or a bit of this-and-that on the counter. The base is marked Shonfeld's USA, and it's honest about what it is — microwave and dishwasher safe, made to be used rather than admired from a shelf. A cheerful, useful bowl with a cook's sense of humor about where good food comes from. Details
