Bonjour Café au Lait Bowl

Quintessentially French and quietly charming, the café au lait bowl has been a beloved staple of the French breakfast table since the late 19th century. With its wide, rounded form and no handle—meant to be cradled warmly in both hands—the bowl was designed for serving generous portions of coffee mixed with hot milk: café au lait.

Originally used in French country homes and cafés alike, the bowls became especially popular in the early 20th century, often made of sturdy earthenware or faience and decorated with cheerful florals, stripes, or charming motifs. Children would sip their morning chocolat chaud from them, while adults dipped crusty baguette or tartines into their steaming brew.

This cheerful bowl proclaims "Bonjour" on the interior rim and is certain to welcome you with a good day at every use, whether holding café au lait or a myriad of other uses, such as servings of soup, cereal, side salad, or fruit.

Bowls measure 5.25"D x 3.5"H.
