Vexations Shallow Bowls (Set of 4)

Shipping and taxes calculated at checkout. Free U.S. shipping on orders over $200.

Description

The Vexations designs are a whimsical celebration of the dominant fact of modern life—that each new day seems to bring some fresh exasperation.

Each bowl includes designs from Don Moyer's sketchbook featuring different calamities: Invasive Species, Ambling Armadillos, Fuzzy the Merciless, and Grabby the Grabber.

Sold only in sets of four. Each set contains four different shallow porcelain bowls to go with your Calamityware dinnerware.

Note: the Vexations bowls are a teensy bit larger than our previous shallow bowls (Fly, Now What?). Click here to find out more about the differences.

Where it's made

Where it's made

These porcelain pieces are fired in Poland at one of the oldest and most accomplished porcelain workshops in the world. The Cmielow team traces their start to 1790. Work from these craftspeople can be found in museums and in the palaces of royalty. Our porcelain designs are in-glaze, which means slightly melted into the surface of the piece, to ensure a beautiful crisp image for years to come.

Great set!

I purchased these through a Kickstarter campaign and as soon as they came in, I had to purchase more. Then, once those were in, I talked my husband into replacing all of our dishware with Calamityware! The pieces are sturdy, interesting, and always bring about conversation. If you're on the fence about purchasing, I can tell you right now that you should get these. Now I'm off to say the same thing about the small plates, which are also amazing!

Gorgeous!

Amazing quality, beautiful design that is simultaneously classy and weird in the best way possible. I love the size and shape of these bowls, not too deep, not too shallow. I have a complete Calamityware dish set and feel I have upgraded my home aesthetic to Rich Eccentric Auntie. I could not be more pleased.

Great gift!

I am giving these as a gift to a young man in need of dishes. They look respectable and yet can lead to laughter which is all one really needs from a soup bowl.

Beautiful dinnerware

My daughter has always wanted dishes from Calamityware. I got them for her as a graduation gift. She was thrilled and said they were beautiful.
