Sigillata Signature Bowl

$20

Made by Serax

Designed by Chris Mestdagh

Chris Mestdagh's Sigillata Signature Bowl is defined by a geometric bas-relief pattern pressed into raw, unglazed stoneware. The exterior holds the texture and warmth of fired clay. The interior is fully glazed, smooth to the touch and practical for daily use. That opposition, rough against smooth, matte against gloss, is not a stylistic accident but the conceptual core of the piece.

Sigillata takes its name from the ancient Roman ceramic tradition of relief-decorated fine ware, a lineage that roots this contemporary collection in something older than modernism. Mestdagh translates that heritage into a quietly contemporary language, one that feels at home on a considered table without demanding attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the unglazed exterior mean for care and durability?

The unglazed exterior is raw fired stoneware, which gives the bowl its textured feel but can absorb moisture if submerged for extended periods. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the surface character, while the glazed interior cleans easily and resists staining.

What is the origin of the name 'Sigillata'?

The name references terra sigillata, a fine Roman ceramic ware known for its relief decoration and distinctive surface. Mestdagh uses this reference to connect the collection's bas-relief patterning to a centuries-old tradition of artisanal ceramics.

Who is Chris Mestdagh?

Chris Mestdagh is a Belgian designer with a background in industrial and product design who collaborates frequently with Serax. His work is characterized by a sensitivity to materiality and a restrained formal vocabulary that bridges craft and contemporary design.

Can the Sigillata bowls be mixed with other colorways in one table setting?

Yes. The four colorways within the Sigillata range are calibrated to work in combination. Mixing them across a table creates tonal contrast without visual dissonance, as the shared texture and form provide cohesion.

Is the Sigillata bowl dishwasher safe?

Serax recommends caution with dishwasher use for unglazed stoneware pieces, as repeated high-heat cycles can affect the raw exterior over time. Hand washing is the preferred method for maintaining the surface finish.
