Florence Penault Ceramic Bowl

Buncheong is a traditional Korean ceramic technique characterized by a slip-coated surface and expressive, often spontaneous, decorative patterns. In this piece, it manifests as a distinct black dotted rim that gives the bowl its organic, handcrafted character.

Because each bowl is handcrafted by Florence Penault in her Boston studio, there may be slight variations in the exact shape and finish. You can expect a diameter of 8.5 inches and a height of 2.75 inches, but each piece remains a unique, one-of-a-kind object.

The shallow, wide shape is ideal for serving side dishes, composed salads, or roasted vegetables. Its low profile makes it particularly effective for displaying ingredients that you want to keep visible rather than hidden in a deep basin.

To preserve the integrity of the handmade ceramic and the delicate dotted pattern, we recommend hand washing with mild soap. Avoid using harsh abrasives or high-heat cycles in a dishwasher to ensure the finish stays pristine.

Yes, the signature black dotted pattern is applied to both the inner and outer rim of the bowl. This creates a cohesive, intentional look that frames your food beautifully from any angle on the table.
