Product Description

Design: Aqua Fish Design

Our Aqua Fish design is one of our most popular patterns. We paint each piece free-hand, meaning we use no decals or tracing or machinery in our production. Each piece is authentically hand-crafted in our studio in Nabeul, Tunisia, just a few kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea. Our studio has exemplary working conditions as seen in our videos online (Facebook, You Tube). We use only foodsafe paints and glazes that comply with FDA and California Prop 65, for your health as well as that of our employees. Our earthenware items are suitable for daily use and can be used in the dishwasher and microwave (though the pieces will get hot to the touch). The clay we use for all our Aqua Fish items is not refractory, meaning it is not suitable for oven or stovetop. We paint Aqua Fish in 31 different shapes and sizes ranging from large serving pieces to place setting pieces to pitchers and serving tagines and small dipping dishes.

This review is from: Le Souk Ceramique HA-04 Serving Bowl, Small, Honey Design (Kitchen)

These are all really stunning dishes. I like to warm the large bowl in the oven and fill it with a bounty of fresh bagels for brunch on Sundays. Always a welcoming sight for guests as they arrive...
I originally saw the Le Souk honey dishes on Neiman Marcus' site, but then found them here on Amazon for a much better price. My parents bought a full set of the Le Souk honey dishes around Thanksgiving to replace their everyday dishes and they couldn't be happier. Now I'm going to get a set for myself because they're just too beautiful.
There's a certain amount of variability because they are hand-painted, but I really think that just adds to their charm. We had checked with the company which imports the dishes, based out of Seattle, about the products used (e.g. paint, glaze) to make sure there's no lead or anything else; they were extremely helpful and sent a detailed account of everything we needed to know. Of course they're also dishwasher and microwave safe.
A number of the dishes did arrive broken, and a couple were of the wrong design, but we just let Amazon know, and the dishes were replaced almost instantaneously. Having had some experience ordering dishes and similar items online I know that they very often do get damaged in shipping, so this wasn't a surprise. The company rectified the situation immediately, so it was really fine.
Another thing we've liked about these dishes is that they retain heat quite impressively. It's not so much that food actually continues to cook in the dish (unless it's something veery delicate), but if you warm something up in the microwave it's going to stay warm longer. We also like to warm up dinner plates in the oven before meals sometimes, or just heat a serving platter with hot water before using it. It's a very nice quality we hadn't expected.
The last thing was that my mother was concerned that getting a whole dining set of these all in the honey design would be too 'busy' because she tends to like simpler things. But when they arrived she completely changed her mind. We've had compliments from everyone who has come to the house. We're very very happy with these dishes.

I ordered this bowl for a holiday gift. It was beautiful or I should say the pieces of it were beautiful. The shredded paper "insulation" was at the bottom of the bowl, with little of to protect the the rim. It needed bubble wrap around it to help absorb shocks from transit. I'm so disappointed that I won't be able to share this lovely item for the holidays. Back Amazon go the broken bits of bowl.
