Why this bowl earns its place
The 130mm Willow bowl occupies the middle ground — larger than an amuse plate, smaller than a soup bowl, perfectly proportioned for the courses that sit between starter and main. This is the bowl for a composed salad course, a seafood-preparation starter with modest liquid, or a substantial side served during plating progression.
Porcelain construction means thermal consistency through the dishwasher and the pass, and it handles both hot and cold content with equal indifference. The stackability is genuine; the rim profile and weight distribution let service staff move multiple stacks without the wobble or rim-catch that frustrates less well-engineered designs. That said, a 130mm bowl is still light enough that speed of movement doesn't create breakage risk.
The Willow aesthetic sits naturally across fine dining and premium banqueting — not austere, not overdone, just honest craftsmanship that doesn't date. At 12 packs per order, you're covering multiple service cycles in a busy kitchen without warehousing excess stock. Pairing the 130mm with the range's other sizes (100mm appetiser, 160mm soup/side, 165mm large serving) creates visual continuity across a multi-course progression.
