FAQs
Are these bowls stackable?
Yes, the bowls are designed with a profile that allows them to be stacked safely in most standard kitchen cupboards.
Can I use these for hot soups?
Absolutely, the bowl is heat-resistant and perfectly suited for serving hot soups, stews, and pasta.
Is the blue color prone to fading?
The pattern is professionally applied and glazed; it is designed to withstand standard dishwasher use without significant fading.
Are all bowls identical?
No, because the bowls are hand-printed, each piece will feature subtle variations in the print placement and intensity, which is part of their unique charm.
Can I put this in a conventional oven?
These bowls are microwave safe, but they are not intended for use in a conventional oven.
Troubleshooting
Discoloration or residue from food
Soak in warm, soapy water for 15 minutes and use a non-abrasive sponge to gently clean the surface.
Small hairline cracks appearing
This is often 'crazing' inherent to ceramic glazes; however, check for structural cracks. If structural, discontinue use to avoid potential breakage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Nicola Spring bowl in peak condition, consider the following care guidelines:
- Initial Cleaning: Wash the bowl in warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any residue from transit.
- Dishwasher Use: Use standard dishwasher cycles with mild detergent. Avoid high-heat industrial drying cycles if possible to preserve the longevity of the hand-printed finish.
- Microwave Use: Safe for standard heating, but avoid extreme temperature changes, such as moving the bowl directly from a hot oven into a cold freezer.
- Storage: Ensure items are stacked carefully with a soft barrier if space is tight, as ceramic can chip when knocked against other heavy tableware.
