Blomus 64161 3 x 11 in. Sablo Ceramic Salad Bowl, Cloud

Ceramic Stoneware Serving Bowls - SABLO were designed by Frederike Martens. The SABLO line takes inspiration from the natural materials. The shapes are soft and inviting with pleasantly rounded edges and a slightly rough surface in some areas and glazed in others. The textured, unglazed portion is a soft beige reminiscent of the natural sand and clay from which the piece is made, and the slight speckled look harmonizes the color combination of the glazed and unglazed areas. SABLO stoneware is made from colored clay and a unique mix of quartz, minerals and oxide. Stoneware is defined as a group of ceramic products and is used to produce plates, dishes, cachepots and bowls, molded at very high temperatures using special casting techniques. The high temperature during the firing process ensure stoneware is more stable than clay and less translucent than porcelain. The colors, shapes, appearance of the glaze as well as the overall look depend on the firing temperature and time and may vary slightly from piece to piece each piece is unique and may show individual structures and shades. The clay of SABLO is fired at a very high temperature, therefore doesn't require all over glazing.

In general Stoneware is manufactured from clay, quartz or minerals such as calcite and is defined as a group of ceramics products. Stoneware is used to produce plates, dish bowls, cachepots and bowls, moulded at very high temperatures (app 970°C to 1320° C (1778 F to 2408 F)) using casting techniques. The higher temperatures during the firing process make stoneware more stable than clay and less translucent than porcelain.The colours depend a lot on the firing temperature and -time, therefore each piece can show individual structures and shades. As stoneware is not watertight in itself, it often is glazed to achieve this state. It is stable and durable. This is also the case with our stoneware range which makes it ideal for everyday use. Nevertheless, it can happen that stoneware articles show a cutlery abrasion. This is not a defect of the product, but a completely natural process, as the glaze was fired at a lower heat than the ceramic underneath.;Use and maintenance; Our dinnerware is dishwasher safe and can be used in a microwave oven.SpecificationsColor: CloudMaterial: CeramicSize: 11.2" Dia. x 3" Height / 28 x 7.5 cmWeight: 3.13 lbs
