Costa Nova Cristal Craquelé Blue Soup/Cereal Bowl
Sophisticated, vintage-inspired collection
As its name suggests, the Cristal collection is inspired by the rich patterns found in the most sublime crystal craftsmanship. This tactile and sophisticated collection stands out from the ordinary and makes an impressive appearance on the table. With its beautiful reactive finish, Cristal Nacar is inspired by the sophisticated yet natural colors of beach shells.
Due to the craquelée and the reactive glaze finishes no two pieces will ever look the same.

Care for stoneware
Oven, Freezer, and Microwave safe.
All pieces manufactured in fine stoneware have high thermal shock resistance, withstanding temperature variations between -20 ºC and 250 ºC (0 ºF to 500 ºF). The maximum thermal variation advised is 180 ºC (350 ºF). All stoneware products can be safely used in the oven, microwave, and freezer. As a precaution, you should avoid
placing pieces straight from the oven on a cold surface. Do not use it over a direct flame. Avoid the use of products with craquelée surfaces such as Cristal (grey) in the oven and freezer.
Dishwasher Safe
All Costa Nova pieces are easy to wash and clean and abrasive cleaners can be used without the risk of damaging the surface due to their high durability and low porosity. Most items can be washed daily in the dishwasher. To ensure the items last longer we advise you to make sure that no item rubs or bumps against another during the wash cycle, preventing damage. As a precaution, we recommend you wash oversized items and more delicate pieces by hand.
Food Save
All Costa Nova products meet the standards established by International Standards including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concerning lead and cadmium. They are food safe.
