A colourful, handcrafted set of six large pasta bowls. The bowls are microwave and dishwasher safe for everyday use. Royal Doulton's 1815 collection commemorates the year John Doulton founded his now world-famous pottery. The 1815 pattern's colourful dipped glazes are linked by a strong visual signature of embossed detail and shape, delivering a handcrafted, artisan quality, all inspired by the founding year and complete with 1815 stamps. The 1815 Bold range is exclusive to John Lewis & Partners and features colour block patterns and painterly sweeps of colour in aqua, lilac and red making an unexpected contrast against hand-thrown white porcelain.I love the simple designs and subtle pops of colour in this standout collection, using some of Royal Doulton's most celebrated patterns. At John Lewis & Partners, we're encouraging our customers to be braver with colour and tableware is a great way of introducing this into your home. Don't keep your favourite tableware tucked away for special occasions. The 1815 Bold tableware range is stylish yet practical, for enjoying dining every day.Charlotte Thomason, Partner and Buyer for Tabletop at John Lewis & Partners Choose the perfect china All our china is made from clay and kiln-fired for durability. Except for pieces with special trims, everything is dishwasher safe. Below are a few options to consider when choosing your perfect china. EarthenwareStrong and practical, perfect for everyday. Its cream colour and low firing temperatures allow for designed pieces. StonewareTougher than earthenware and chip resistant. Ideal for heavy use and can often go into the oven to temperatures of up to 250°C. TerracottaUses a clay with a rich body colour giving the characteristic base colour, and has a low glaze firing allowing bright coloured glazes. Porous body allows for good thermal expansion and contraction properties making it an ideal body for cookware such as tagines and roasters.PorcelainDelicate yet strong. Carefully selected clays give whiteness and translucency. It can often go from oven to table. Fine china The synthetic bone ash used in fine china makes it a more affordable alternative to bone china whilst maintaining the benefits - strength, translucency and delicacy. Bone china Bone china is made from 40% bone ash. This makes strong yet thin and delicate pieces which are microwave, dishwasher* and oven safe making each piece ideal for everyday use, not just formal. *Unless product has metallic details - always check individual item for specific care instructions
