Ohio Stoneware Dog Bowl

A stoneware dog bowl, hand-thrown in Ohio. Heavier than the steel and plastic alternatives, which means it stays put while your dog eats out of it. Easy to clean, doesn't pick up smell, and looks more like a piece of pottery than a pet supply.

Dimensions: Approx. 2.5" H x 7.5" diameter

Why it's here: Few things speak to the intersection of rural design, utility, and self-reliance like the classic pickling crock. And within that world, one name stands head and shoulders above the rest — Ohio Stoneware. They're one of America's last remaining commercial pottery manufacturers, still operating in what used to be known as the Pottery Capital of the World. Each piece is made by hand and designed to last more than a lifetime — as evidenced by the countless old Ohio Stoneware crocks you'll find in antique stores across the country.

To be honest, we use ours for everything but pickling. Our Christmas tree sits in one in December, we keep flour and dry goods in them on the counter, one serves as a utensil pot, many live as plant pots, and we have one by the door as an umbrella stand.

What you're getting: One Ohio Stoneware dog bowl, approx. 7.5" diameter. One bowl; we recommend a pair for food and water.

Care: Dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe. Stoneware will develop a natural patina and small use marks over time — a feature, not a flaw, and the reason these pieces look so beautiful in antique stores decades from now.
