Breakfast Bowl

The perfect bowl for little snacks, light breakfasts, just about anything served to little eaters.

Breakfast is just the beginning, as they say. Serve olives, almonds or dips on a party tray or an appetizer-sized serving of a chilled summer soup. Make a handful of crackers or a little bag of Cheetos more of an event. We call it the Breakfast Bowl, but we find uses for it all day long. Also great for little eaters, who will find that the wider, footed base makes it less tippy than the Ice Cream Bowl.

Why we love it:

— Avoid open flames or preheated ovens. Our pots are oven safe up to 350° but must start in a cool oven and be brought up to heat gradually (think crème brûlée).
— Over time, your pots might accumulate mild cutlery marks. These can be buffed off with warm water and scouring powder such as Bar Keeper's Friend. More information.

Low, open and gently curved, our Shallow Bowls were designed to strike the right balance between openness and containment. They’re versatile forms that many East Fork collectors say are the forms they reach for most.

The broad base makes these bowls particularly hard to tip. It’s one reason we like the Breakfast Bowl for little kids and pets—whether they’re eating at the table or on the floor.

Add some extra color to your grain bowl. Arrange fruit into your yogurt and granola. One day, you’ve never thought about “plating” a meal. The next, you’re someone who lets the phone eat first.

We use a few different methods to shape our clay into plates, bowls, mugs and more. Once the forms are made, each piece is hand-trimmed or finished with a sponge machine to smooth the edges before its first firing.

Our co-founder John has said that the Everyday Bowl was originally designed to appear at rest, like a well-worn river rock. That same low-slung curve runs through the whole series.

Fill your home and kitchen with beautiful, enduring goods.

The Breakfast Bowl and the Everyday Bowl have the same wide, shallow shape, but different sized capacity. The Breakfast Bowl holds 1¼ cups versus the Everyday Bowl’s 3½ cup capacity. Our Size Guide is a really handy place to compare forms.

The Breakfast Bowl and the Ice Cream Bowl both hold the same capacity (1¼ cups) but are different shapes. The Breakfast Bowl is wider and shallower, with a broad base, while the Ice Cream Bowl is rounder and deeper, with steep sides. Our Size Guide is a really handy place to compare forms.

Yes. East Fork pottery is dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe. Our pottery is designed to fit in most standard home dishwashers and is durable enough for commercial dishwashers, too. The only exception is pottery that is made with decaled patterns, like the pots in the The Matisse Collection, which we recommend washing by hand. You can read more about how to care for our pottery here.

All East Fork pottery is made at our factory in Asheville, North Carolina, using a blend of stoneware clays and minerals sourced from the American Southeast. Our team combines skilled handwork with specialized pottery equipment to shape, finish, and glaze each piece. We then fire our pottery in gas kilns using a reduction process that brings out signature iron speckles and natural glaze variations.

Yes, we’re firm believers that introducing young kids to what we call “the world of special objects” is a great way to teach them how to care for precious things. While we can’t promise that our dinnerware won’t break if dropped onto a hard floor, our pottery is designed to be durable and chip resistant. Breakfast Bowls, Side Plates, and Tiny Cups are some of our go-to forms for kids, which you can even buy in a sweet set just for littles.
