Designed by Arjan Van Dal, the Uri bowl is part of the Family collection, a range of ceramics inspired by an original series of vases designed by Sir Terence Conran in the 1990s.
This series marks the first time the London-based potter has worked on a large-scale production, having previously focused on one-off pieces. The resulting Family collection contains bowls, vases and ceramics featuring curved, architectural silhouettes designed to catch the light and cast soft shadows, with tonal variations that emphasise their sculptural nature.
This piece is finished with a food-safe glaze, making it suitable for kitchen serveware and dinnerware.
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. |
