Bowls & Trays
How do you choose a bowl or dish that suits your table?
A beautiful bowl on the table does more than you think. It doesn't just hold your food together, it instantly gives your whole table character too. Pip's porcelain bowls and dishes turn every meal into a little celebration, whether you're having a quick bite together on a Tuesday evening or cooking a full dinner for friends.
From a small nibbles bowl for drinks to a large serving dish for the main course and a fruit bowl that looks picture-perfect even when it's empty: at Pip, there's always something to suit you. That way, dishing up feels like part of the celebration.
Which dish works best for which meal?
Above all, think about what you're going to serve. A fresh, colourful salad looks its best in a wide, open salad bowl. For something warm, such as a bake, stew or pasta, go for a deep serving dish that keeps everything nicely together. Place your floral-print dishes next to plain plates, or the other way round. The more you mix, the more personal your table becomes.
How do you host festive drinks or an afternoon tea?
A few filled bowls on the table instantly turn drinks into a party. Think nuts, olives, crisps or a colourful dip, and your guests will know exactly where to be.
Prefer to host an afternoon tea? Then spread sweet and savoury bites over a few large dishes and add cheerful cups for the tea. Finish it off with one of our tablecloths, and your afternoon instantly feels festive.
Can you use a bowl as decoration too?
Absolutely! Some bowls are so beautiful it would be a shame to keep them in the cupboard. An elegant footed bowl or one with golden details is a real eye-catcher on the sideboard, the coffee table or the windowsill. Fill it with fruit, Christmas baubles or a few candles, or simply leave it empty. That way, you have a bowl that's both practical and beautiful.
