Beatriz Ball continues her fruitful collaboration with Louisiana-based ceramicist Gretchen Murchison with vibrant designs presented in luxury melamine. The bestselling Bloom Collection, inspired by floral, botanical and other natural forms, includes pieces that are beautiful as well as functional, and this bowl offers a redefinition of "casual" serveware. The stylish VIDA Bloom Extra Large Oval Bowl (White) has the look and feel of fine ceramics, but the practicality and ease-of-use of melamine. This great multipurpose oval-esque bowl is nicely sized and with an intriguing shape inspired by natural forms. By any standard, the bowl is truly a standout.
