Why you’ll want the bowls from Bloomingville: The Mary bowls bring the warm feeling of the holiday season straight to the table. The hand-painted Christmas goose and the refined embossed details give each little bowl its own character—just that small touch of delight when you serve something simple. Whether you’re offering nuts, olives, or a small starter, the set of four lets you lay an easy, well-matched table without it ever feeling dull: thanks to the handwork, every piece has its own subtle shade.

Details & material: The bowls are made of earthenware in a deep red tone that contrasts beautifully with winter dishes. With ø 16 cm, they have a pleasing, versatile size for nibbles, treats, or small dishes. The relief and hand-painted details add extra texture and depth, which feels lovely in the hand and looks beautiful on the table. Made by Bloomingville, from the Mary range; a festive yet understated addition to your tableware.

Tip for use: Pair the four bowls with bright white tableware and linen in beige or red for calm and balance. Set them together on a board with different bites, or use each little bowl as a personal amuse-bouche at dinner. Because each bowl is slightly different, your table looks distinctive and carefully put together—a choice you’ll enjoy year after year.
