This Limoges porcelain bowl, made by hand in Italy, features a luminous,  hand-painted interior that contrasts with a tactile, understated exterior.

---DETAILS---

Made entirely by hand in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, this round, high-sided platter from Bertozzi is made of Limoges porcelain, considered the finest in the world. Its unique mix of kaolin, feldspar and quartz allows it to be fired at extremely high temperatures for durability and a luminous glaze associated with royal china. The inside of this bowl has been block printed onto the porcelain before being fired and hand-painted using a century-old secret recipe from founder Luigi Bertozzi. The paint recipe mixes flour, vinegar, and rusted iron to create a distinguished palette that cannot be replicated. The exterior of this bowl is unglazed for an understated, slightly textured contrast that showcases the mineral-rich stones it is made from. As this piece is completely unique, slight variations in shape and colour are part of its charm. It is dishwasher-safe.

---BENEFITS---

‘This piece reflects light beautifully, thanks to a mix of Bertozzi’s singular colours and the natural lustre of Limoges porcelain. The hand-painted interior is so delicate.’
