We have made several large bowls over the years, but few feel as relaxed and at ease on the table as the Fruit Bowl does. It is a result of years of trial and error, and the secret sauce is actually a result of material science. Our porcelain is very hard and very strong when it comes out of the kiln, but at the peak temperature in the kiln, 2300 degrees, the clay and minerals in the glaze and clay body become liquid, and as soon as they begin to cool, they become frozen in their final form.\xa0 If the angle of the bowl’s walls are too wide, or the radius at the base of the bowl is slightly off, the effect is ruined and you create an object full of tension.\xa0 A big bowl is great- it completes a table, anchors a room, holds a salad or casual bowl of lemons. Need to take the edge off? Fill it with some boozy punch.\xa0 The bigger something gets, the more personality it can have, and now of all times, a chill personality is most welcome.\xa0
