Reinforced Ceramic Bowl (275ml / 0.8 cup) for Meteor and Peanut Bowl Stands

A ceramic bowl for small pets, compatible with the Meteor and Peanut bowl stands. Capacity per bowl: approximately 0.8 cups of dry food (based on a 240ml measuring cup) or 275ml of water. The bowl measures 12 cm in diameter and 4 cm in depth. The supplier classifies this as reinforced porcelain, fired at approximately 1300 degrees. This process creates a nearly non-porous body with a water absorption rate of less than 0.2%. Lower-temperature ceramics often contain microscopic pores that absorb water; during microwave use, the absorbed water heats up, causing the bowl itself to become hot. In dishwashers, the water inside these pores can expand during the high-heat drying cycle, potentially causing fine cracks in the glaze. This high-temperature porcelain lacks these pores, ensuring that the food heats up in the microwave without the bowl becoming hot, and it is safe for dishwasher use. The intentional 4 cm depth is designed specifically for the small mouths of petite dogs and cats. If a bowl is too deep, they struggle to reach the bottom, and if the bowl is too large for their size, they cannot reach the food in the center. This 12 cm wide, 4 cm deep bowl is perfectly proportioned for smaller pets. As these porcelain bowls may not be perfectly circular, the bowl stand openings are designed to be slightly larger than the bowl diameter (up to 5 mm) to provide a comfortable fit.
