Steelite Maham Studio Spice Sea Salt Bowl 510ml (Box 12)

The Maham Studio Spice Sea Salt Bowl is part of the Maham Spice collection, designed by chef and food writer Maham Anjum in collaboration with Steelite. The bowl is made from vitrified stoneware and finished with an unglazed exterior that references the texture and warmth of hand-thrown terracotta, contrasted with a reactive glaze on the interior. The result is a piece that has genuine character at the table without looking contrived.

In practical terms, vitrified stoneware is a sensible choice for front-of-house use. It is more resistant to chipping and thermal shock than standard earthenware, holds up reasonably well in busy service environments, and is dishwasher safe — which matters when covers are turning quickly and mise en place needs to be restocked efficiently between sittings.

The 510ml capacity and 152.5mm diameter make this a versatile size. It works well as a sharing bowl for bar snacks, small bites, olives, or bread accompaniments, and sits naturally on tables in casual dining rooms, hotel bars, and restaurant environments where operators want a more considered aesthetic than plain white china allows.

A few practical points worth noting: reactive glazes produce natural variation between pieces, which is part of the intended character of the collection but is worth communicating to front-of-house teams so it is not mistaken for a defect. The bowl is sold in boxes of 12, which is a reasonable opening quantity for most operators to trial the range before committing further.

This bowl suits restaurants, hotel dining operations, and bar kitchens looking to add texture and warmth to their tabletop without moving into fragile or high-maintenance ceramics.
