The Open Bowl

Rated 4.9 out of 5

Based on 28 reviews

The Open Bowl is ideal for salads, noodles, and saucy meals. Our ceramics are crafted from natural Korean soils and hand-finished, and as such, each piece is one-of-a-kind and imperfect, and their colors, deep and unique. Yet, despite ceramics’ delicate reputation, ours are sturdy enough for everyday use, as well as dishwasher- and microwave-safe.

We're setting the table.

Our foray into Tabletop is one that’s meant to elevate small, everyday moments, and to make people comfortable at the table, so they can pull up a seat and stay a while.

Dining together is an intimate tradition, and we wanted our first dining offering to feel personal. Thus, we partnered with Soil Baker, Hye Rin Yang, a South Korean female ceramicist who blends expert culinary and design expertise into timeless, long-lasting pieces.

Human hands are involved in every step of the making. Each design was hand-thrown on the potter’s wheel and fired using traditional techniques, drawing upon the age-old craftsmanship of Yeoju, South Korea, where artisans have been producing ceramics since 918 AD.

The clay for our collection is drawn from numerous soils (Dune, three, and Grotto, five) for a clay blend that was invented by Soil Baker craftsmen, exclusively for us. The result is a versatile color depth that changes in various light - simple enough to let your food stand out, yet detailed enough to warrant a second look.

"The star here is the new stoneware from one of our favorite brands, Material: a gorgeous, stony grey-green that looks good with any soft white."

"A collection of hand-finished ceramics that you’ll want to pass down for generations."

"The hand-finished Open Bowl is basically a blate (bowl + plate), my preferred vessel for grain bowls, salad, pasta, and stew. It’s available in two colors; I’m going for the darker shade, which makes a colorful meal really stand out."

The Open Bowl

Rated 5 out of 5

Sooo gorgeous!

After searching for pasta/stir fry bowls online, I fell in love with these and bought 2 sets as a holiday gift for my son. The grotto color is stunning. These are substantial bowls, as they are quite weighty. The high quality is apparent. I’m going to have a hard time letting go of them, and will probably be back to buy some for me!

The Round Bowl

Rated 4 out of 5

Beautiful but not for us

We were looking for everyday use dinnerware but the texture didn't suit us at all. The outside matte is quite raw and textured, not particularly pleasant to handle. If you're sensitive to that I would avoid the set. Otherwise they were very beautiful, great shape and size.

*The return process was super quick and easy
