Set of 4 Hand-painted Bowls - Blue Design

This attractive set of bowls will be the star of your family cupboard. We use ours just about every day in a variety of ways.

Their 6-inch diameter size and 2-cup depth makes them ideal for hot soup, pudding, half a grapefruit, a bowl of cereal or fresh fruit. A setting of four bowls filled with chilled gazpacho or salmorejo is especially inviting.

The village of Puente del Arzobispo is renowned for its quality ceramics, so we asked an artist there to design a set of bowls as part of a blue collection of Puente pieces. We wanted them to be appealing in the contemporary American home, yet retain the rich tradition of this famous center.

Inspired by the classic multicolored palate that was typical of Moorish Spain, the artist achieved simplicity by selecting a simple blue design that enhances the classic white background of the bowl. Unlike our traditional multicolored Puente bowls, the design is the same on each piece. The clay and lead free glaze are high fired, making them dishwasher safe.

In another part of this site, you will see these bowls as part of a Gazpacho set, accompanying a marvelously large and deep serving bowl. (Dishwasher safe, food safe, lead free.) Each bowl is authentic: painted by the hand of the artisan – with no silk screen short-cuts -- and signed with pride. All in all, they are as versatile as they are bright and cheery.
