Our Salad Bowls are both beautiful and durable, with a surprising range of uses. From serving succulent salads at an exclusive event, to holding ingredients while you work your magic in the kitchen; these pottery bowls can do it all. After all, each one is carefully handcrafted by our team of Irish potters! Each Wild Flower Meadow Pattern is lovingly hand painted, ensuring yours is both luxurious and unique.
Measurements: 28cm dia x 15cm h (11" dia x 6" h)
To keep it as beautiful and pristine as possible, we recommend that you follow the following advice:
• Avoid rough handling and sudden changes in temperature as this may cause the appearance of fine lines on the surface known as crazing. Crazing does NOT affect the life or the usefulness of the pottery, and some people feel this adds to the character and appeal of the pottery. It is nothing to worry about.
• Our pottery is dishwasher safe; please stack it carefully to avoid knocking.
• Our pottery is microwave safe but continuous use should be avoided.
• Stubborn stains may be removed by soaking in a mild bleach solution.
• For our ovenware pottery (and also our tabletop ware), avoid metal scourers or harsh abrasives.
• Only use our special Nicholas Mosse Ovenware in your oven, avoid direct heat and do not use on a hob or near a naked flame
All Nicholas Mosse products are well packed in ecologically friendly, recycled packing. Insurance is included in the shipping charge.
I love how fast your products arrive and how easy it is to order them online.
I have now bought three bowls for wedding presents from your site.
It's a pit the green large bowl has gone up in price, but I suppose so has every thing! We have it ourselves and it is the loveliest
This salad bowl size and design is really stunning, always looking for the PERFECT one to hold enough salad for 8/10 people, So now I am Happy, Really Happy with this purchase.
Thank You Nicholas Mosse and crew, co workers, friends etc who bring these treasures to us.
This bowl was sent to India via my daughter who was travelling to visit her boyfriend’s parents. It was greatly received and admired. We have started their collection as previous bought a vase last year too. It is so wonderfully to be able to give truly Irish gifts which are impeccable, beautiful yet functional!
Now to build up my collection!
I bought the bowl as a special present. It was lovely to visit my friend in the US and actually see it on her countertop, she loves it. I might need to treat myself as it really is gorgeous.
Love the large bowl. However, I was disappointed with the Nicholas Mosse engraving on the base, its barely visible. Otherwise love the pattern and bowl.
I have used it once since I got it a week ago for a Greek salad to go with a BBQ. The bowl is a great size. I must say, your products are all very tactile and I love that along with the patterns. I have a mixture of those and they look great together. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely
Kathleen
Every piece of Nicholas Mosse undergoes a 20-step, handmade process.
Basic Forming
Clay comes from the ground and we mix different sorts of clays to create our own, high quality earthenware. We dig, blunge, sieve, filter and pug the clay to form extruded logs of wet clay, which are then cut into the exact size and weight for each item. The thrower takes this lump and centers and forms it on an electric potter’s wheel.
Wet Clay or Greenware
The little jug body is dried to a "leather hard" stage, and then a handle is attached to it with a glue-like substance called slip. Small imperfections are fettled and cleared away to make the pot ready for the next stage.
Slip Dipping
When it reaches a very particular level of hardness, the little jug can be lowered into the liquid slip bucket. This type of slip is made from our same clay but with more water and less iron, to make it whiter. The slip is viscous and makes another pot cleaning necessary.
Bisque Kiln Firing
Once again the jug needs to harden even more, so it can withstand being stamped with our Nicholas Mosse logo. It then waits for its turn in the kiln and receives a first firing or ‘bisque’ firing, which removes all water from the clay and makes it hard and ready to decorate.
Decorating
Nicholas Mosse Pottery has a large group of shapes, from mugs to plates to bowls, which are all hand decorated in one of our 10 or so patterns. Each motif is applied by hand, one at a time, in different underglaze colours. The pots are then dipped into clear glaze and fired again.
