Portmeirion Botanic Garden Individual 5-1/2-Inch Fruit Salad Bowls, Set of 6
Perfect for fruit salads, soup, cereal, and of course ice cream, this set of six deep bowls has no end of uses. French onion soup can even be served with the traditional topping of melted cheese, because the sturdy earthenware is oven-safe to 340 degrees F. Each bowl is covered with hand-painted flowers. Inside is a single large motif, and the outside features a smaller repeated pattern and a rim of intertwined leaves.More than 30 years ago the founder of Portmeirion Potteries was inspired by 19th-century botanical illustrations to create the Botanic Garden collection of tableware and cookware. Each piece is crafted from fine glazed earthenware and features highly detailed floral designs complemented by a simple border of green leaves to give the collection a coordinated look. Botanic Garden tableware is safe in the freezer, microwave, oven, and dishwasher, but it should not be subjected to sudden changes in temperature.--Simon Leake
