Measuring almost 14 inches long and holding 1.2 liters, it has enough depth for salads, roasted vegetables, fruit, pasta, and side dishes while remaining open enough to work as a serving platter for appetizers or smaller foods. The green glaze settles into the molded veins and raised areas, emphasizing the leaf structure across the earthenware surface.

Made in Portugal, the bowl is suitable for both dishwasher and microwave use. It can be combined with the plates, bowls, platters, and serving pieces in the wider Bordallo Pinheiro Cabbage collection.

Tomato soup is the obvious match, but it is hardly the only one. Bring it out for chilled gazpacho or pappa al pomodoro in summer, then use it for minestrone, chowder, chili, curry, braised beans, or mashed potatoes during colder months. Prepared hot food should be transferred into the tureen after cooking, as oven use is not recommended.

Remove the lid and the tureen becomes a substantial open serving bowl. It can hold pasta salad at a buffet, fruit salad at brunch, bread rolls at a holiday dinner, or a generous pile of lemons and oranges on a kitchen island. The leafy lid makes the reveal part of the presentation without requiring elaborate table styling.

Between meals, the closed tureen can remain on a sideboard, open shelf, or countertop as a sculptural ceramic object. At almost 12 inches wide, it has enough scale to stand on its own rather than disappearing among smaller dishes and accessories.

The earthenware is microwave safe for reheating and dishwasher safe. Never run it empty in the microwave, use an oven mitt when removing heated earthenware, and avoid sudden temperature changes. Because the tureen weighs almost five pounds before it is filled, carry it carefully with both hands.

The collection includes three sizes. The Medium Bowl works for rice, soup, cereal, salads, or larger side dishes. The Small Bowl is useful for snacks, dips, desserts, and smaller portions. The XS Bowl is made for sauces, condiments, olives, nuts, or small accompaniments.

Each bowl has a pedestal base and a matte stoneware finish. Moonbeam gives the piece a textured off-white surface, while Elephant Skin offers a smooth warm gray finish. Designed by Carsten Gollnick and made in Portugal, the bowls can be mixed with the matching MAKOTO plates, cups, teapot, and serving pieces. Dishwasher and microwave safe.

The lid is matching walnut, cut to sit flush and steady, so the bowl can hold dressed salad for a bit before serving, or travel from kitchen to table without the “please don’t spill” walk. It also works well for grain salads, roasted vegetables, or anything you want to keep covered while you finish the rest of dinner.

When people compare top-rated wooden salad bowls with lid, it usually comes down to three things: shape, fit, and quality of the wood. This bowl gets all three right—easy to toss in, easy to serve from, and satisfying to use often.

Designed by Sebastian Herkner for Blomus, this shallow bowl keeps VAHLO’s soft geometry in a compact square footprint. The gently rounded corners make it comfortable in the hand; the wide base shows off toppings and keeps spoons from clinking the rim.

Breakfast to dessert, it’s the piece you reach for when a plate feels too flat and a bowl too deep. Stacks neatly; the subtle, speckled glaze gives each one its own quiet character.

The gently sloped sides are made for flipping and spooning sauces. Add the matching wooden trivet/lid to protect the table or to cover dishes between courses. It nests with other ABCT pieces and looks at home on any table. Made in Italy.

The lower, wider shape is built for shallow braises, risotto, baked eggs, paella-style grains, and gratins—anything you want to bring out family-style. Attach the handle for stirring and pouring; remove it and the piece reads like simple tableware. Pair it with the wooden trivet/lid to protect the surface or keep dishes covered between courses. It stacks tightly with the rest of the ABCT range, and the high-gloss white works in any setting.

Weeknight pasta, a brunch frittata, a quick fruit crumble—this pan cuts transfers and extra dishes while keeping things presentable. Made in Italy.
