At first glance, the traditional English pattern around the outside of the bowl seems superfluous, with even a hint of kitsch.

But an efficient mixing bowl needs to be heavy to counter the tendency to move during manual mixing. The pattern helps to make the bowl appear less heavy than it actually is, and its subtle relief enhances the bowl's timeless elegance.

Mason Cash ceramic mixing bowls are made from 'white and cane' glazed earthenware sometimes known as 'yellow ware' from the colour of the local clay.

The design has hardly changed for over a hundred years, although the modern version has leadless glazes that conform with Proposition 65.

The mixing bowls can be used in the oven and microwave, and are safe in the freezer and dishwasher.

5 1/2" W opening at top, 2 7/8" diameter base.
