The pair of pretty handles on Juliska's bowl entices you to grab hold and eat heartily, from French onion soup a swirl with gruyere to your famous chili. Portuguese stoneware ceramics echo the same artisanal production as Juliska glassware. They have developed a variety of exquisite transparent, opaque, and metallic glazes on a tough Portuguese stoneware body. All are lead free and each has the same tough durability to handle the most demanding everyday use.
