Bubble

Bubble is built on a reactive glaze that pools and breaks during firing, leaving round marks across the surface that read closer to a nebula than to a print. Every piece comes out of the kiln a little different, which is the point rather than a flaw. The range sits on stoneware, takes color in blue, brown and green, and the line is bowl led: a full table set alongside standalone bowl sets in other diameters.

A Glaze That Pools Into Bubbles

The pattern is made by the glaze, not printed onto it. Where the glaze sits thicker, gas escapes during firing and leaves a round mark; where it runs thinner, that mark flattens into a soft haze. That is why no two pieces in the reactive glaze collection carry the same arrangement, and why the surface reads as depth rather than decoration. The face of each piece is glossy, so the marks shift as a plate is turned in the hand.

The Set Carries Two Bowls, Not One

Most four place settings in the range stop at one bowl. The Bubble 16 Piece Dinnerware Set with Soup Bowls carries two: four cereal bowls at 6 inches and four soup bowls at 8.2 inches, alongside four dinner plates at 10.5 inches and four salad plates at 8.5 inches. The second bowl is the reason to look at this set. A wide 8.2 inch soup bowl holds a first course, a stew or a pasta dish with no plate underneath, while the 6 inch bowl covers cereal, yogurt and a side of rice.

Four Bowl Diameters Across the Range

Bowls are where Bubble separates into options. The set above gives the 6 inch and 8.2 inch pair. On its own, the Bubble Cereal Bowls Set of 4 runs at 7 inches, wide enough for cereal and easy to eat a dessert from. The Bubble Mini Cereal Bowls Set of 6 steps down to 4.7 inches across six pieces, which suits a smaller portion, a child's place, or a table that keeps bowls out for nuts and olives. All four diameters share one glaze.

Blue, Brown and Green Against a Matte Black Wall

The colors run blue, brown and green, and on the 16 piece set they sit inside a matte black exterior that frames each piece from the side. That dark wall is what keeps the set from reading as one flat block of color across the table. Because the glaze treatment is the same from piece to piece, two colors can share a place setting without the table looking assembled. Where a table should read flat rather than glazed, the matte finish dinnerware collection covers that direction.

Where Bubble Sits in the Range

Bubble belongs to the stoneware collection, and its reactive glaze neighbours use the same kiln behaviour for a different pattern. Within the dinnerware collection it is the bowl led option, the one that answers the first course as well as the main. The stoneware bowls collection shows the same body in shapes outside this series.

Care and Everyday Use

Every piece in the range is microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe, so a bowl can warm a portion, go to the table and into the dishwasher afterwards. A reactive glaze is glass over clay and responds to temperature faster than the body beneath it, so the habits that matter are simple: let pieces dry fully before stacking, use a mild detergent rather than an abrasive powder, and avoid sudden temperature changes. The tableware care guide covers the same points piece by piece.

Bubble Sets at a Glance

The set and the two bowl sets share a body and a glaze. They differ in what arrives in the box.

Finish and Body at a Glance

The 16 piece set is finished in two zones, a glazed face and a matte outer wall. This is what each one adds to the look.

Bubble FAQs

Q: Are vancasso Bubble pieces microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe?

A: Yes. Every piece in the range takes all three. The stoneware is rated for microwave, oven and dishwasher use, so a soup bowl can go from the oven to the table and into the dishwasher, once it has cooled.

Q: What makes the Bubble pattern different from a printed design?

A: The pattern comes from the glaze, not from a print. Gas escaping during firing leaves a round mark where the glaze sits thicker, so each piece finishes differently and the surface keeps its depth instead of wearing flat at the edges.

Q: What sizes do the Bubble bowls come in?

A: Four diameters. The 16 piece set carries 6 inch cereal bowls and 8.2 inch soup bowls. Sold separately, the cereal bowls run 7 inches in a set of four, and the mini bowls run 4.7 inches in a set of six.

Q: Should I buy the set or the standalone bowls?

A: The set covers a full place setting. Buy it when the table needs plates and both bowl depths. The standalone sets suit a table that already has plates and wants a second bowl size, or a wider 7 inch cereal bowl.

Q: Can Bubble be mixed with other vancasso ranges?

A: Yes. The glaze treatment is consistent across the range, and blue, brown and green sit together without a pattern clash. A plate from the set can carry a standalone bowl at the same place setting.
