Ceramic Soup-Cereal Bowl with an extended rim

It is also suitable for the elderly and anyone who experiences difficulty handling ordinary crockery. These bowls are designed with an extended rim to help in the lifting and scooping of food, whilst reducing the possibility of spills.

Available in Yellow they are dishwasher, microwave and freezer proof.

Dimensions: 7 ¾'' x 2 ¾'' holds 15 fl oz.

The Dignity range of specialist crockery is made from Vitrified Earthenware with added Alumina (contains no lead) for extra strength.

The design of the range took account of research carried out by Stirling University's Dementia Services Development Centre.

June Andrews, Director at Stirling says:-

''Eating and drinking is very important in dementia. For all of us the whole experience is crucial, not just the right food at the right temperature at the right time, but we are affected by the ambience of the room and the company we are with. Having attractive table settings and cutlery can make a big difference to our appetite and how we enjoy the food. People with dementia sometimes have special requirements. They need coloured plates that allow them to see what they are eating, and the plates need to be easy to use with rims to help scooping and lifting of food. Cups need to have big enough handles for two fingers to slip through.The Dignity range is the best we have seen so far.''
