The traditional white and cane mixing bowl
from Mason Cash has become a "classic" recognised all over
the world. In these days of "disposables" Mason Cash is
the only company making traditional Mixing Bowls from traditional
materials in the traditional way. Unlike some inferior copies
you may see around, these are the originals. As a
result, these bowls are likely to become well used and loved
family heirlooms which will still be going strong in
50 years time. The origins of Mason Cash go back to
a pottery which was already operating on the current site
at Church Gresley in Derbyshire around 1800. The pottery
was run by a succession of Master Potters of whom the most
colourful was "Bossy" Mason in the late 19th Century. When
Tom Cash acquired the pottery in 1901 he changed the name
to Mason Cash & Co - a name retained when the company was
incorporated by his son in 1941. The business has remained
family owned and run throughout its history, and Mason Cash
continues to make traditional products, using traditional,
local materials wherever possible.

A century ago all kitchens would
have had many Bowls & Basins for mixing and cooking. The
Mason Cash Mixing Bowl is a design classic - the shape
surviving unchanged for a century because it so perfectly
meets the users needs. These days, no longer restricted
to the kitchen, the Bowls are widely used for storage,
serving and even, we are told, for cooking Lancashire
Hot Pot! Being glazed earthenware the bowls are
substantial - so they don't move about as you mix and
may be gently warmed in the oven or microwave - to help
blend in butter. When mixing is done the bowls are perfectly
safe in the dishwasher.
The large size is highly recommended, since you will have
not only all the volume you need for a full "Christmas
Cake Mix", but also a very attractive object in your
kitchen. However, more units of the medium size are sold
than any other size. The smaller size mixing bowl combines
adequate functionality for most uses with a very affordable
price. You may also consider buying all three sizes,
as a set not only has a higher collectable value, the
bowls can be stacked one inside another for easy storage
- and you can make a saving
of about 5 pounds!

Earthenware : Is made from a careful selection of minerals and clays. After shaping, it is fired in a kiln until it has changed its nature and the clay particles have irreversibly bonded together. However, the basic body remains somewhat porous and it is normally coated with another material - glaze - which melts completely when fired and then solidifies to provide an impermeable layer.
Glaze :Usually a mixture of minerals which when applied as a coating to a ceramic body and heated to the correct temperature and "vitrifies" forming a solid, impervious layer. All glazing requires great skill to ensure that the glaze "fits", does not craze and that the finish and colour are as expected. (e.g. the bright, clear glaze used by Mason Cash is an opaque pink until kiln fired!)
