With each new season, there are new home collections<\/a> to look forward to. Without a doubt, the most exciting ones drop around the winter holidays, providing plenty of opportunities for you to find the perfect gift for a loved one or upgrade your own space. Among all of the the seasonal releases, East Fork\u2019s<\/a> are some of the launches we look forward to the most. You can always expect to see their popular pottery in a fun new glaze every couple of months. This time around, they\u2019ve re-released a fan-favorite: Henri\u2019s Red<\/a>. They first unveiled this festive shade around this time last year<\/a>, which I covered. At the time, I had never personally tried any East Fork products. But now, over a year later, their Everyday bowl<\/a> is a staple in my kitchen. It, too, is available in the limited-edition<\/a> vibrant red hue, but that\u2019s not the only reason why you should snag your own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n You can find a plate for every meal and purpose at East Fork, but there\u2019s perhaps none as versatile as the aptly named Everyday bowl. Handmade by real potters from lead-free, local materials, it boats a 3.5-cup capacity and an 8-inch diameter. You\u2019ll find that the bowl<\/a> is deep enough for soup yet shallow enough for pretty much everything else, making it the go-to plate for every meal of the day. As for its fiery new color, \u201cHenri\u2019s Red\u201d pays homage to \u2014 you guessed it \u2014<\/em>\u00a0Henri Matisse. (East Fork\u2019s founder, Alex Matisse, is the artist\u2019s great-grandson.) Specifically, the work \u201cThe Red Studio<\/a>\u201d provides the meaning behind the glaze. Really, you can\u2019t go wrong with any piece from the collection, whether you opt for the best-selling mug<\/a>, the dinner plate<\/a>, or the coupe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Simply put, the Everyday bowl is the only plate I use at home, so it\u2019s a good thing this piece is so well-made. I own two but only keep one of the bowls in my kitchen, which I share with three other people. Between my cookware, blender, and water bottles, I really don\u2019t have space for any additional plates on my dedicated cabinet shelf. (Tiny kitchen problems, am I right?) But thanks to this piece, I\u2019m fine with that. I\u2019ve had the bowl since spring, and after months of using it every day, multiple times a day, it\u2019s still in mint condition. I\u2019ll be honest, I was worried that the bowl would chip upon unboxing it. The Everyday bowl<\/a> is thick and weighty, but it still has a somewhat delicate feel. But, it\u2019s been about eight months, and there\u2019s nary a scratch or chip in sight. And because it\u2019s so thick, the bowl doesn\u2019t burn my hands, even when I fill it with steaming hot soup. I also appreciate its smooth glaze and slightly speckled appearance and texture. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n But most of all, I love that this bowl is the perfect size and shape for every meal I eat, whether it\u2019s oatmeal in the morning, rice and veggies mid-day, or ice cream for dessert. Whether you pick one up in Henri\u2019s Red or one of the other pretty colors, you, too, are bound to get plenty of use out of this long-lasting piece. Once you see how great the bowls are, you\u2019ll probably want to gift a couple, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat is the Everyday Bowl?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
