Modern Design Meets Functional Excellence

The Viva Bowl 260mm features a clean, contemporary aesthetic that elevates both casual and formal dining experiences. Its wide, gently sloping sides make it easy to plate and serve, while the shallow yet spacious depth provides versatility for multiple cuisines.

The Viva range is renowned for combining understated elegance with professional durability — making this bowl an essential piece for hospitality venues and home entertainers across New Zealand.

Premium Vitrified Crockery Construction

Each Viva Bowl is kiln-fired at extremely high temperatures to achieve vitrification — creating a dense, non-porous, chip-resistant surface that withstands heavy use in commercial environments. The result is a piece that is both strong and refined, offering long-lasting performance without compromising on style.

The glossy glaze coating adds an extra layer of protection against scratches, stains, and moisture absorption, keeping your crockery looking fresh and polished through years of daily service.

This bowl is oven-safe, microwave-safe, and dishwasher-safe, making it a practical and reliable choice for professional kitchens and homes alike.
