This individual ramekin is hand thrown in toasty stoneware clay and covered with a cream and blue glaze, the clay toasts distinctively in the final glaze firing resulting in stunning  brown streaks, giving each piece its own subtle character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe details:\u003cbr\u003e-  Perfect for dips, desserts, crème brulee, or individual servings of all your favourite delicious dishes at the table\u003cbr\u003e-  Just as lovely as a trinket dish for rings, hair clips, or bits and bobs on a shelf\u003cbr\u003e-  Approx. 9cm wide x 5cm tall — perfect for dips, desserts, or individual servings\u003cbr\u003e-  Blue and cream speckled glaze with warm brown flecks from the toasty stoneware clay\u003cbr\u003e-  Dishwasher and microwave safe for easy everyday use\u003cbr\u003e-  Available in other colourways — pop into my shop to see the full range!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003cbr\u003eThis little ramekin earns its keep well beyond the kitchen table — puddings, dips, tapas, or a cheeky bit of TV snacking.

Each pot is shaped, left to dry to leather-hard, trimmed, and finished by hand. Once fully dry, it's fired to over 1000°C and cooled for about 24 hours, then glazed — sometimes with up to 8 brushed-on coats to build those painterly effects — before a final firing to 1180°C and another 24-hour cool-down. Start to finish, the whole process takes 3 to 6 weeks, a little longer in colder, damper months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA note on handmade variation\u003cbr\u003eBecause each piece is made by hand, you may notice small differences in glaze and size from bowl to bowl — that's not a flaw, it's the joy of owning something one-of-a-kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaring for your Ramekins\u003cbr\u003eThis bowl is dishwasher and microwave safe for everyday ease, but hand washing will keep the glaze looking its best over the long run — totally your call!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKind to the planet too\u003cbr\u003eEvery order is packaged using recyclable and biodegradable materials — no unnecessary plastic, just careful, planet-friendly packing so your bowl arrives safe and sound.\u003cbr\u003eQuestions? Just message me any time — I'm always happy to help.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thistledown Pottery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58868909867343,"sku":"RAM-001-LAVB-171","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/2506\/9647\/files\/il_fullxfull.8377606528_tayo.jpg?v=1790184087","url":"https:\/\/www.thistledownpottery.co.uk\/products\/handmade-ceramic-ramekin-dish-speckled-cream-and-blue-glaze-toasty-stoneware-pot","provider":"Thistledown Pottery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
