Hokan Bowls

Hokan’s range of sustainable, durable, stackable stoneware bowls and lids are not only stylish, but also offer impressive functionality as the range is oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe. Serve vegetables and accompaniments in these gorgeous bowls and then pop any leftovers straight in the fridge or freezer. We also turn the lids upside-down as serving dishes for olives, pickles and small snacks.

The latest colour, perfect for your springtime table, is Green Jade. Reactive glaze is a finishing technique used on stoneware ceramics; the term ‘reactive’ refers to the chemical interaction between the glaze's minerals and oxides during the high-temperature firing process. This reaction creates distinctive patterns, colours, and textures, meaning no two pieces are exactly alike.
