Bowls : faites le bon choix

The bowl is the most personal piece of tableware—held in both hands, your lips pressed to its edge, warmed between your palms on a chilly winter morning.

There is something profoundly comforting about a beautiful bowl. A coffee mug has its charms, but a bowl offers more—volume, presence and a sense of containment that makes it essential to morning rituals. From the Sunday café au lait bowl, the evening soup bowl, the breakfast granola bowl to a ramen bowl at lunch, this is the most versatile piece on the table, effortlessly bridging meals and occasions. At Lumeers, our curated bowl collection covers all uses and styles: artisanal stoneware bowls, fine porcelain bowls, Japanese-style ramen bowls, large soup bowls, small bowls for sauces or condiments, dessert bowls—available in shapes, colours and finishes to suit every taste.

Stoneware, porcelain or ceramic: which bowl material is right for you?

More than with any other tableware, the material of a bowl is experienced—by touch, by weight and by the warmth it retains.

A stoneware bowl keeps heat exceptionally well—longer than a fine porcelain bowl. This matters for coffee, tea or soup: a thick stoneware bowl keeps your drink hot, even on a slow morning. The pleasant rough or textured finish feels good in the hands, and the reassuring heft adds to its sturdy character. Artisanal stoneware, with reactive glazes and tones that vary from piece to piece, exemplifies the wabi-sabi aesthetic—beauty in imperfection and the value of handcrafting.

A porcelain bowl is lighter, finer and more refined. Its thin rim means less insulation but greater elegance and precise forms. A white porcelain bowl with a slim rim, or a translucent bowl with delicate floral decoration, has a sophistication that stoneware cannot match. These pieces suit formal tables just as much as elevated everyday use.

Handcrafted ceramics—an umbrella term including stoneware, earthenware and mixed pottery—form the broadest and most diverse category. Here you’ll find bowls with real personality: a blue-grey glaze with green highlights in certain lights, a partially glazed surface revealing the clay beneath—details that make any bowl a unique piece chosen for its own story, not just part of a set.

Large, medium or small bowl: choosing the right size for every use

The large bowl—500 ml or more—is a must for ramen, Asian soups, single-serve salads or generous morning cereals. It's the go-to for kitchen prep too—whisking dressings, beating eggs or mixing up a marinade. Its generous capacity makes it a truly versatile tool in both kitchen and dining room.

The medium bowl—300 to 400 ml—is just right for café au lait, a good mug of tea, porridge, granola or an appetiser-size soup. It's the everyday staple you'll reach for most, earning its place in every morning ritual and cupboard.

The small bowl—below 200 ml—is ideal for sauces, condiments, snacks, olives for aperitifs, or small sides of rice and vegetables. In Asian cuisine, these sauce bowls (katakuchi) are essential everyday pieces. On a Western table, they add a decorative touch—placed beside each plate, they bring style to your setting.

Japanese bowls: Asian influence for modern tableware

Japanese tableware has had a profound impact on contemporary Western dining. The Japanese bowl—be it for ramen, rice or matcha tea—has a distinct, purposeful design: gently flared rim, a base narrower than the top and perfectly balanced in the hand. These forms are meant to be held, not just set on the table.

The Japanese ramen bowl is usually larger and deeper than a typical Western soup bowl. Its shape allows you to enjoy generous broth, noodles, toppings and eggs at once—while keeping everything warm. Our Japanese-inspired ceramic models stay true to these proportions, with glazes echoing classic Mino or Arita pottery.

The matcha bowl (chawan) is used in Japanese tea ceremonies—wide, low, with a flat base for whisking tea without spills. Its open shape encourages you to cup the bowl in both hands, taking a moment to appreciate the contents before drinking. It is an object that encourages slowness—a rare quality at the table.
