Whether it's holding fruit or being used as a mixing vessel, this bowl fulfills two functions: beauty and practicality. As with Emile Henry's bakers, this bowl retains heat and cold, so it's great at preserving the temperatures of potato salads or side dishes.Emile Henry cookware and tableware has been built to perform since 1850. But it's the luscious colors and designs that keep us craving. Crafted in Marcigny, France, from the local Burgundian clay, the dishes are hand-dipped in a rich glaze that resists scratching. Many are based on designs from the French company's archives and have the look and feel of French country pottery from the late 19th century. The ovenware is not only strong enough to withstand the abrupt temperature changes of freezer-to-oven cooking but is also beautiful enough to join the dinner party.
