The Portmeirion Minerals collection just got even more versatile. We’ve expanded the tableware range to include additional bowl sizes, each designed to elevate your everyday. This guide explores each of the bowls within the collection and how each one – from the ideal dip dish to the perfect family serving bowl – can enhance your culinary creations and bring a touch of nature to any occasion. Discover the thoughtful design and practicality that make Minerals bowls a must-have for your kitchen.
Understanding your needs
When deciding what kind of bowls you need as part of your collection, it’s important to consider how you’ll use them day to day. From individual servings of cereal or soup to shared dishes for family meals, the purpose dictates the ideal size. A smaller bowl, such as those perfect for dips or sauces, offers controlled portions and elegant presentation. Whereas, a larger bowl, like a generous serving bowl, accommodates family-style meals and salads, ensuring everyone gets their fill. By understanding your typical culinary needs and the intended use, you’ll be able to confidently select the right size bowls to enhance your dining.
Minerals Bowls
Minerals bowls are crafted in Portugal from hardwearing and sustainable stoneware. Once fired and made from organic, recycled clay, the bowls not only look beautiful but they’ve been thoughtfully designed for everyday use, being dishwasher and microwave-safe.
Each size bowl in the collection is available in three colourways – Rose Quartz, Moonstone, and Aquamarine, with the larger statement pieces available in the Amethyst shade. The range of colours allows you to mix, match and layer the different shades exactly how you want. Read on to explore all the various bowls in the collection:
