Why use a glass bowl instead of a ceramic bowl?
There’s something about glass that makes dessert feel just that little bit more special. Unlike ceramic, glass bowls let the contents take centre stage—whether it's the layered beauty of a homemade trifle, the swirl of a fruit compote, or the colourful pop of a scoop of sorbet. Presentation matters, especially when it comes to sweets, and glass gives you that visual clarity without compromising on functionality. It’s not just about looks, though. Glass dessert bowls are typically lighter than ceramic, making them easier to pass around the table or stack up in the cupboard. They're also non-porous, so they won’t absorb odours or flavours, which means whatever you serve tastes exactly as intended—no lingering notes from last night’s chilli or this morning’s yoghurt.
When should I use a glass dessert bowl?
Honestly, they’re a solid choice for just about any occasion. From quiet evenings with a bit of ice cream to dinner parties where every course counts, glass dessert bowls lend a touch of elegance without feeling fussy. They work just as well for casual snacks like jelly or fruit salad as they do for more indulgent puddings. And because our collection includes both classic footed dishes and more modern designs, you’ll find something to match your vibe, whether it’s vintage charm or contemporary cool. They're also great for non-dessert uses—think side salads, breakfast parfaits, or even layered starters when you want to impress without going overboard. If you like to entertain, they’re one of those little upgrades that guests actually notice.
