This bowl is hand-painted in the Italian faience tradition, where each brushstroke creates unique nuances in the red glaze. Caja Company produces the ceramics in Italy with a focus on craftsmanship over mass production — so your bowl will have slight variations in tone and details compared to the photo. The faience is fired at a high temperature, giving the surface its characteristic shine and durability.
Care and Maintenance
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the hand-painted glaze. Avoid dishwashers and abrasive sponges, as these can wear down the surface over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between faience and stoneware for serving bowls?
Faience is fired at a lower temperature than stoneware, resulting in a lighter ceramic with a porous core beneath the glaze. This makes faience bowls like this easier to handle but they require hand washing. Stoneware is denser and often dishwasher safe but heavier.
Can the red fish bowl handle hot dishes or only cold snacks?
The bowl can easily hold warm dishes like heated olives or roasted nuts, but avoid moving it directly from the fridge to a hot dish, as temperature changes can affect the glaze. It’s best suited for serving food at room temperature or slightly warmed.
How large is the fish bowl compared to a standard bowl?
Measuring 20 x 13 cm, it corresponds to a small serving bowl — perfect for 150-200 g of olives, nuts, or snacks for 2-4 people. It’s too small for salad as a main dish but ideal as a tapas bowl or for dips.
Is a hand-painted faience bowl a good hostess gift?
Yes, especially if the host appreciates handmade ceramics or Mediterranean style. Fill it with gourmet olives, Italian cantuccini, or chocolates so it’s both decorative and practical. It also works as a personal gift for housewarming or birthdays.
Why does the color vary on hand-painted Caja Company products?
Caja Company uses traditional hand painting, where each bowl is painted individually before glazing. The glaze reacts differently during firing depending on oven placement, temperature, and kiln type, creating natural variations in the reds — from deep brick red to lighter shades.

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.
