Famiware Ocean Large Pasta Bowls+Coffee Mugs

On the cupboard shelf they sit eight deep: the bowls nested, the mugs paired. The Ocean glazes run in two directions, one lighter, one darker. Stoneware, double reactive. They do not slip in the hand when lifted.

You fill a bowl with pasta and it holds the heat. You pour coffee into a mug and the rim does not burn your lip. The dishwasher cycle leaves them clean. Microwave safe, the pack says, so you reheat without moving the food to another dish. That is the point of a set like this: one piece does the work from stove to table to sink.
