Meaning spring in Italian, "Primavera" is a pattern painted by Maija Isola when she was living in Oran, Algeria. Because of this, it's thought it has a touch of homesickness in it. Perhaps Isola was yearning to be back in Finland where wildflowers like marigold bloom in the morning dew. Here, the flowers are stunning in shades of soft lilac and lush green on crisp white stoneware. As the name suggests, this bowl is perfect for salad but also ideal for sandwiches and other small-portion meals. It's conveniently microwave, oven, freezer, and dishwasher safe for daily use.

Love this - goes great with the matching cereal bowl and tea mug
Pros
Very colourful, goes great with wooden organic decor. Also, it's great for salads, cakes, even as a serving dish. I like that becuase there's this tiny rim, no worries about any sauce spilling over. It's very sturdy.
