Marimekko Black White Unikko Salad Bowl Porcelain Dinnerware 12.7cm

Description

Product Overview

Marimekko’s Unikko black and white salad bowl is a striking example of contemporary Scandinavian design, marrying form and function in a single piece of high‑grade porcelain. Measuring 12.7 centimetres in diameter and standing 7.62 centimetres tall, the bowl offers a generous capacity while maintaining a sleek, compact silhouette that fits easily into any cupboard or display cabinet. The iconic Unikko pattern, conceived by celebrated designer Maija Isola, is rendered in a bold black on a pristine white background, creating a visual contrast that instantly elevates the dining experience. The porcelain composition is fired at high temperatures, resulting in a dense, chip‑resistant material that retains its glossy finish even after repeated cycles in the dishwasher. Each bowl is individually inspected to ensure colour fidelity, pattern alignment, and structural integrity, guaranteeing that the customer receives a product that meets Marimekko’s exacting standards for quality and aesthetic appeal.

Usage

The Unikko bowl is designed for versatility across a wide range of culinary contexts. Its neutral colour palette makes it suitable for both casual family meals and more formal entertaining. Use it to present fresh garden salads, vibrant fruit mixes, or warm soups that benefit from the bowl’s heat‑retaining properties. The sturdy porcelain construction also allows the bowl to transition seamlessly from the kitchen to the microwave, enabling quick reheating of leftovers without compromising the integrity of the pattern. For those who enjoy entertaining, the bowl’s striking design serves as a conversation starter, complementing other pieces from Marimekko’s dinnerware collection or standing alone as a statement piece. Because the bowl is dishwasher safe, cleanup is effortless, freeing up time for hosts to focus on hospitality rather than kitchen chores. Its durability also means it can be stored in the freezer for ice‑cream servings or used in the oven for baked dishes, provided the temperature does not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended limits.
