The main purpose of this bowl is to brew coffee. As seen in the pics, you put a tablespoon, maybe, of coffee in a large coffee basket and use a pitcher ( I have some) to pour boiling water over the coffee. Did I mention you should put a cup under the bowl? (I have some of those too).

The bowl is 5-1/4" in diameter and 2-7/8" high. It weighs 11 oz.

The bowl is of a white stoneware.

The bowl is glazed with a gloss green and a blue glaze overlapped to for a rich green band.

Grooves have been carved into the inside to assist in the flow of coffee. You may have noticed that if you ask for decaf coffee at smaller shops, this is the way they make it, except the bowl is plastic (ugh!).
