Maham Studio Spice Sea Salt Bowl 355ml by Steelite (Box 12)

The Maham Studio Spice Sea Salt Bowl is part of a vitrified stoneware tableware collection designed by chef and food writer Maham Anjum. The range is built around the aesthetic of hand-thrown terracotta — an unglazed exterior finish that gives each piece an artisanal, tactile quality — combined with a coloured reactive glaze on the inside. The result varies naturally between pieces, which is part of the intended character of the range rather than a manufacturing inconsistency. Each bowl measures 120mm in diameter with a 355ml capacity, and is supplied in boxes of twelve.

Vitrified stoneware is a practical choice for commercial tabletop use. It is considerably more durable than standard ceramic, resistant to chipping under normal service conditions, and suitable for repeated dishwasher cycles. The reactive glaze interior holds up well under regular use and does not require any special handling beyond standard commercial warewashing practice.

In operational terms, this bowl works well as a small sharing dish, a condiment or dip bowl, or a tasting portion vessel. It sits comfortably within the kind of informal dining, grazing, or small-plates service format where tactile, handcrafted-looking tableware supports the overall look of the cover. Key practical points worth noting:

• Vitrified stoneware construction suitable for commercial dishwasher use
• Reactive glaze interior means each bowl carries slight natural variation in finish
• Unglazed exterior gives a raw, artisanal appearance on the table
• 355ml capacity suits small sharing portions, dips, and condiments
• Sold in boxes of 12, supporting consistent cover presentation

This bowl is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, wine bars, and casual dining operations where presentation is a deliberate part of the guest experience. It is less likely to be the right choice for high-turnover environments where a plain, uniform white piece is preferred, or where the natural variation in reactive glaze finish may not align with the house style.

If you are building a tabletop scheme around this collection or want to understand how the finish reads across a full cover, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
