Each bowl sits on a recessed pedestal that lifts it off the table, so it reads as calm and slightly floating. The medium bowl (5.9\" across) suits cereal, soup, pasta or rice; the XS bowl (3.2\", 4.1 fl oz) is for dips, sauces and condiments. Both are dishwasher and microwave safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e blomus (Sundern, Germany)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e MAKOTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carsten Gollnick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stoneware bowls with pedestal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moonbeam, Elephant Skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium bowl:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.9\" × 5.9\" × 2.4\" (15 × 15 × 6 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eXS bowl:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.2\" × 3.2\" × 2\" (8 × 8 × 5 cm); 4.1 fl oz (120 ml)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stoneware with matte glaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlazes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moonbeam (light, textured like a moon surface); Elephant Skin (smooth, matte warm gray)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dishwasher and microwave safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Portugal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem numbers (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e Moonbeam medium bowl: 64928; Moonbeam XS bowl: 64932; Elephant Skin medium bowl: 64929; Elephant Skin XS bowl: 64933\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecessed pedestal that makes the bowl appear to float\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium bowl for meals, XS bowl for dips and sauces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatte glazes: textured Moonbeam or smooth Elephant Skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStoneware, made in Portugal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher and microwave safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreakfast cereal and yogurt, soups, rice and noodle dishes, dips, sauces and tapas.

Japan has shaped his work from the start, including the Japanese principle he designs by: no object is more important than another, because even the smallest piece has a use and a meaning. His studio has designed more than 100 products and won the iF Design Award, the German Design Award and the Red Dot Design Award.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we carry it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are an authorized blomus retailer and have been curating design-led pieces for the home since 2009. MAKOTO pairs clear geometry with a subtle base that makes each piece seem to float just above the table. Gollnick gave the two glazes deliberately different characters: Moonbeam looks like the landscape of the moon’s surface, while Elephant Skin is smooth and matte. blomus is a family company run by the fourth generation of the Blome family in Sundern, Germany. It began in 1921 making bicycle parts, moved into copper, brass, pewter and stainless-steel design pieces in 1961, and has worked under the blomus name since 2000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy once: durability and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDishwasher and microwave safe, according to blomus. Our advice: avoid sudden temperature shocks, such as moving a bowl from the fridge straight into a hot oven. Each piece is unique: small variations appear during firing and give every piece its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat sizes are MAKOTO bowls?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedium: 5.9\" × 2.4\" high (15 × 6 cm).
