Bowls

A good bowl is one of the most useful objects in a home — and one of the most expressive. At Lulu and Georgia, the bowl collection spans ceramic and stoneware serving bowls, individual soup and pasta bowls, decorative display bowls, wooden bowls and dough bowls, glass and crystal options, and hand-thrown one-of-a-kind pieces from ceramic artists. Objects that move between the table and the shelf without losing their visual integrity in either context.

What types of bowls does Lulu and Georgia carry?

The collection includes individual place-setting bowls in ceramic and stoneware, large serving and salad bowls, decorative display bowls in ceramic, wood, and glass, pasta and wide-rim soup bowls, ramen and deep soup bowls, wooden dough and prep bowls, and artisan hand-thrown pieces available in limited quantities. Many coordinate with the dinnerware and serveware collections for a unified table. Sizes range from small individual portions to large centerpiece bowls.

Can decorative bowls be used for serving food?

Many decorative bowls in the collection are food-safe and transition easily between a decorative role on a shelf or coffee table and an active role on the dining table. Food-safe status is noted on product pages where applicable. Unglazed or raw-clay bowls are generally not food-safe; glazed ceramic and stoneware typically are. When in doubt, check the product page or use the bowl for dry items like fruit, bread, or nuts rather than liquids or acidic foods.

What material is best for a large serving bowl?

For a large serving bowl that holds everything from salad to pasta, glazed stoneware is the most practical choice — durable, dishwasher-safe in most cases, and available in a range of finishes and colors. Wooden bowls are excellent for salad and fruit and develop character with use; avoid soaking them or putting them in the dishwasher. For a centerpiece or display bowl, the material can be purely aesthetic — rattan, glass, marble, or hand-thrown ceramic all work beautifully as a table focal point.
