CAFÉ POTTERY Earthenware Bowl, Akureya

At a glance

• Hand-painted flowers and fruit give Akureya a quieter, more understated look than the brighter Mimosa
• Naturally flowing glaze, crazing and iron specks make each earthenware surface slightly different
• Rounded 11cm bowl moves easily between breakfast, rice, soup, dessert and café au lait

Akureya is the quieter of the CAFÉ POTTERY florals.

Flowers and fruit are painted in a restrained, retro style that suits the fuller, more substantial character of earthenware. Because the decoration is finished by hand, small differences in colour and brushwork remain visible.

The glaze contributes just as much character. It can flow unevenly, reveal parts of the darker clay beneath and develop fine crazing or small iron specks. Those variations are expected and give each bowl a slightly different surface.

At 11cm across, it is compact but versatile. Use it for rice, cereal, porridge, yoghurt, small soup servings, fruit or café au lait.
