Fleure Small Hand-Painted Ceramic Bowl by A loja da Ceramica

The small Fleure bowl is a five-inch wheel-thrown ceramic form painted by hand with the collection’s blue floral motif. Its scale sits between a condiment dish and a full serving bowl, making it useful for olives, nuts, dips, berries, or an individual portion without asking for more table space than it needs.

The bowl is made in Portugal, and subtle differences in shape and brushwork belong to its handmade character.

“This is the size of bowl I reach for constantly. It is large enough to be useful but small enough to tuck into an already set table, and I like having one beautiful piece for the things that usually arrive in whatever bowl is closest.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

I hand wash the bowl and dry it before stacking so moisture does not sit between hand-finished ceramic surfaces.

Maker / Heritage

A loja da Ceramica works from Portugal’s Alentejo ceramic tradition. The Fleure collection is individually thrown and hand-painted by potter António, with a blue floral motif co-designed with artist Gabrielle de Saint Venant and informed by Portuguese folk decoration.
