Stoneware bowls that’ll last forever (or extremely close)

A stack of East Fork Everyday Bowls in the color Black Mountain.
East Fork

Whether you’re looking for a pretty way to dress up milk and cereal, a dish worthy of your most intricate winter stews, or a can’t-go-wrong gift — we think these (currently on-sale!) East Fork stoneware bowls are a very lovely upgrade.

Each Goldilocks-size clay body has a kind of earthy tone that would complement just about any spread. It comes in a range of glaze finishes, but we’re partial to the raven-hued Black Mountain.
