Defined by an organic, flowing form that beautifully mimics an oyster shell, this salad bowl serves as a sophisticated focal point for any dining table. Crafted from stoneware, chosen for its exceptional strength and chip-resistance, it has a white glaze that allows the vibrant colours of fresh salads, fruits or Mediterranean dishes to truly pop.

Choose the perfect china

All our china is made from clay and kiln-fired for durability. Except for pieces with special trims, everything is dishwasher-safe. Below are a few options to consider when choosing your perfect china.

• Earthenware - Strong and practical, earthenware is often a little thicker than other ceramics, making it ideal for everyday use.
• Stoneware - Fired at high temperatures, stoneware is very tough and heat-resistant. It comes in a number of different glaze finishes.
• Porcelain - Affordable yet luxurious, porcelain is renowned for its translucency. Fired at high temperatures, porcelain has an extremely tough glazed surface, making it durable.
• Fine china - The synthetic bone ash used in fine china makes it a more affordable alternative to bone china. Like bone china, it's strong, translucent and delicate, and creamier in colour.
• New bone china - A type of porcelain with added calcium oxide to achieve a similar aesthetic as bone china, but without animal bone ash.
• Bone china - White bone china is the strongest and most translucent ceramic. Though it looks delicate, it's tough enough for daily use and is usually dishwasher-safe. It contains at least 35% bone ash.
