The Union Bowl was created with longtime collaborator chef Missy Robbins. You could say it's our coziest shape ever—it's slightly deeper and more narrow than our best-selling Pasta Bowl, which helps it retain more heat (and, yes, more pasta).
Think of it as the bowl you’ll reach for when you’re in the mood to eat dinner while sitting cross-legged on the sofa.
3" tall x 6.75" wide
Union Bowls will ship within 5 business days.

What’s reduction firing? Here’s how Jono explains it:
“We wait until a particular point in the firing, around 2000°, and at that point, we increase the gas which creates an oxygen-hungry environment inside the kiln. That oxygen-hungry atmosphere takes oxygen from the metallic oxides in our clay, which makes them look really shiny and metallic and interesting.”
Use your shimmery Union Bowl to serve foil-wrapped sweets this month or consider it a shining example of a perfectly good excuse to make a warm bowl of pasta.

Our August 2024 Special Edition "Swirlware" Union Bowl is created using a meticulous, time-intensive process. To create the bowl, an artisan layers our Dark Brown clay with a Porcelain, creating a wedge, which is then cut into slabs and jiggered using our roller machine. We make a handful of other adjustments to maintain the integrity of the swirled clays: There's no water used in this process, for example, and there is an extra trimming step to ensure the swirl pattern is uniformly defined.
The result is a one-of-a-kind bowl in a bestselling shape that can artfully showcase produce on the counter or serve up a bowl of fresh pasta. This first production run includes only 50 bowls, so get yours while you can. If they happen to sell out, be sure to add your name to be notified and we'll automatically email you as soon as we do a second run.
Lead time: 4 weeks.

HANDMADE IN THE USA
Inside the Studio
Our dinnerware is hand-made at a light-filled studio in Union City, New Jersey, by a team of 16 artisans. The studio is also where we quality check and pack up dozens of orders per day, which are then sent out to restaurants like Lilia, Jean-Georges, and Felix Trattoria and to serious home cooks all over the country.
Our Story
When Jono started the company in 2004, he had a simple mission: to design unique dinnerware options for the hospitality industry. He started small, with one wheel and one kiln, and collaborated with chefs, taking risks and learning from his mistakes. Then and now, his priority is to work directly with our clients, responding quickly and thoughtfully to their needs in ways that larger manufacturers can’t, resulting in dinnerware with a personal feel that sets our clients’ restaurants and dining rooms apart.
Our Process
Each piece that Jono has designed has its own unique production process, which can entail as many as 15 individual steps, and use methods such as slip casting, jiggering, and good old-fashioned wheel throwing. Our studio is equipped with 10 kilns and 6 wheels and we begin each day with the thrill of opening our Blaauw kiln to discover the finished pieces we loaded in the night before.
