This is the bowl that holds the most without asking for much space. Nine and a half centimetres across but five tall, which gives 130 ml — more than the wider 11 cm bowl, which nobody expects.

That makes it the best of the five for dips and sauces. It does not tip, you can get a piece of bread or a stick of vegetable deep enough into it, and it takes up almost no room on a crowded table.

Reactive glaze: blue, brown, grey or sea green, and every piece different.

What you can do with it

• dips, mayonnaises, a warm sauce next to the fries
• nuts or olives with drinks
• a soup in miniature, as an amuse-bouche

Sold one at a time, without a tray.
