Their beautiful, rustic feel is reminiscent of something you might find in an old French farmhouse. Modeled after the traditional French tian - a clay work bowl used for hundreds of years in French kitchens for washing dishes or cooking. Made from high-fired terra cotta, they can also do double-duty as oven bowls.

Completely handmade and hand finished, each piece is glazed on the inside for ease of cleaning and finished on the outside with a terra cotta rub. This rub seals and strengthens the clay but allows the piece to keep its unglazed look after firing.

Features & Benefits

• Designed with a pour spout for ease of use.

• All our pieces are completely handmade, natural earthenware. Minor imperfections add authenticity and charm, and are part of the piece.

Use & Care

• Oven and microwave safe.
• Clear ceramic glaze provides ease of cleaning. For difficult areas to clean, first soak for a few minutes in water, then scrub with a soft abrasive pad.Do not use metallic scouring pads.
• Dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand washing to give the best care to your earthenware. See our section Clay Cooking 101 for detailed explanations and effects of soaps and detergents on earthenware.
• Earthenware does not like extreme temperature changes. For example, do not take a bowl cold from the refrigerator and place it directly in a hot oven; it may crack.
