The bowl measures 20x13 cm and is shaped like a fish with a deep dark blue glaze. Italian faience is fired at high temperatures, giving the material both strength and a slightly porous surface that takes hand-painted decoration well. Because each bowl is hand-painted, you will notice slight differences in color intensity and brush strokes — this is the signature of craftsmanship, not a flaw.
Care and Maintenance
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the hand-painted surface. Avoid sudden temperature changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between faience and stoneware?
Faience is fired at a lower temperature than stoneware (approx. 1000-1150°C vs. 1200-1300°C) and is more porous. This results in a lighter bowl with a warmer, more artisanal finish — but stoneware is denser and more resistant to impact.
Can I use the fish bowl in the oven?
No, faience does not tolerate oven heat well — especially hand-painted pieces where the glaze may crack at high temperatures. Use the bowl for serving food at room temperature or slightly chilled.
Is the blue fish bowl a good hostess gift?
Yes, especially for someone who hosts dinners or collects handmade ceramics. It’s practical enough for everyday use but special enough to stand out — and the price makes it a thoughtful gesture without being extravagant.
How do I clean hand-painted faience without damaging the glaze?
Use lukewarm water and mild dish soap with a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaners. Wipe the bowl dry immediately to prevent water marks on the porous surface.
Why does the color vary on hand-painted bowls?
Because the glaze is applied by hand and fired in batch kilns where temperature and placement affect the final result. Some bowls develop a deeper blue tone, others a more grayish shade — this is the nature of craftsmanship and part of the charm.

Handmade & unique product
Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
