Lebrillo Hand-Painted Terracotta Large Bowl in Coral by Pomelo Casa — 11½″

Pomelo Casa’s large Lebrillo Bowl is an 11½-inch hand-painted terracotta serving bowl patterned with traditional Spanish bird-or-pomegranate motifs. The coral colorway gives its generous scale warmth and animation, while the 4¼-inch depth makes it practical for large salads, fruit, or family-style serving. It has enough visual presence to remain out on a counter between meals as part of the room. Handmade and hand-painted in southern Spain, subtle differences in brushwork and glaze distinguish each piece.

“Coral is especially good at this scale because the bowl can become part of the room even when it is not serving food. Keep fruit in it, carry it straight to the table, and let usefulness become the decoration.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Before first use, wash by hand in hot soapy water, rinse, and allow to air dry. The bowl is dishwasher safe, although alternating with hand washing will help protect the hand-finished glaze from the effects of constant machine washing. Microwave and refrigerator safe; do not use in the oven. Small differences in brushwork and glaze are natural to these handmade ceramics.

Maker / Heritage

Founded by interior designer Francesca de la Fuente, Pomelo Casa grew from the ceramics she knew while growing up in southern Spain. The collection is handmade and hand-painted in a small family-run workshop in Granada, using traditional Lebrillo motifs and techniques the maker traces back more than five centuries. Formed from terracotta clay and finished by hand, each piece carries the slight variations in brushwork and glaze that distinguish ceramics made this way.
