"Stone Broth" Wabi-Sabi Ceramic Lidded Pot

Some meals ask to be slowed down.

This ceramic pot was made for exactly that — the quiet ritual of a broth left to deepen, an egg steamed to silk, a congee that fills the kitchen with warmth before it fills the bowl. The off-white glaze carries the marks of the kiln: brushstroke textures, soft imperfections, the honest beauty of something made by hand.

At the table, the lid stays on until the last moment. That's the point.

Use it for individual soups, steamed eggs, bird's nest, slow-cooked broths, or as a lidded jar for salt, spices, or loose tea. It moves between kitchen and table without effort.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Stone Broth best used for?
At 390ml, it is ideal for individual portions — steamed eggs, slow-cooked broths, congee, bird's nest, miso soup, or any dish that benefits from gentle, enclosed heat. The fitted lid retains steam and heat, making it particularly well-suited to steaming and slow cooking. It also works beautifully as a lidded storage jar for salt, loose tea, or spices.

Is the Stone Broth oven and microwave safe?
Yes — the ceramic construction makes it suitable for oven and microwave use. Avoid placing a cold pot directly into a very hot oven — allow it to come to room temperature first to prevent thermal shock. It is not suitable for direct hob use.

What is wabi-sabi and how does it apply to this pot?
Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and natural forms. The Stone Broth embodies this through its matte off-white glaze with brushstroke textures and subtle kiln variations — each piece is slightly unique, carrying the honest marks of handcraft rather than machine uniformity.

How do I clean a matte ceramic pot?
Hand wash with warm water and mild soap. The matte glaze is durable but can be marked by abrasive scrubbers — use a soft cloth or sponge. It is dishwasher safe, though hand washing will preserve the finish for longer.

Does the Stone Broth pair well with other CL House kitchen pieces?
Beautifully — the matte off-white glaze complements our Stone Vessel reactive glaze casserole and the Marble Pour ceramic milk jug, creating a cohesive wabi-sabi ceramic aesthetic across your kitchen and table.
