Lebrillo Coral Hand-Painted Terracotta Mini Bowl by Pomelo Casa — 3½

Pomelo Casa’s Lebrillo Mini Bowl is a small hand-painted terracotta bowl patterned with the traditional Spanish bird or pomegranate motifs that define the collection. At just 3½ inches across, its usefulness is part of its charm: the shallow form is well suited to olives, nuts, salt, spices, sauces, or the small objects that inevitably gather around the house. The coral colorway brings warmth to the centuries-old pattern without diminishing its folk character. Handmade and hand-painted in southern Spain, each bowl will show slight variations that make it distinctly its own.

“These are the pieces that never stay in one room. I use a bowl this size for salt, olives or a sauce at the table, then find it holding rings or matches somewhere else. And coral is especially useful—it brings warmth without asking everything around it to match.”
-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.
