A Guide to Mason Cash Bowls: England's Iconic Mixing Bowls, Now in Middle Tennessee

by Gather Kitchen Mercantile

If you've spent any time watching The Great British Baking Show (known across the pond as The Great British Bake-Off), you've seen them again and again: the thick, sturdy, beautifully glazed mixing bowls that every contestant reaches for when it's time to fold, whisk, and proof. Those are Mason Cash bowls, and they've been a fixture in English kitchens since the 1800s, when the Mason Cash pottery began hand-crafting stoneware bowls in Church Gresley, England. Nearly two centuries later, the same wide, stable shape and durable stoneware construction that made them a baker's essential back then still makes them the bowl bakers reach for today.

At Gather Kitchen Mercantile, we're proud to be the go-to source for Mason Cash bowls across Middle Tennessee and North Alabama, serving home bakers and kitchen lovers in Columbia, Franklin, Nashville, Huntsville, and everywhere in between. We carry one of the widest selections of Mason Cash you'll find in the region, from everyday mixing bowls to seasonal, limited-edition collections. Here's a look at what's in the collection and why we think every kitchen deserves at least one.

Why bakers (especially sourdough bakers) love Mason Cash

The heavy stoneware body holds its temperature and stays put on the counter, no matter how vigorously you're creaming butter and sugar or kneading a stiff dough. That weight and stability is exactly why sourdough bakers have adopted Mason Cash bowls as their go-to for mixing and proofing: the wide mouth gives dough room to breathe and rise, and the glazed interior makes turning out a proofed loaf effortless. It's no wonder these bowls show up on baking show benches worldwide.

Beyond the mixing bowl, Mason Cash bowls double as gorgeous serving pieces for tablescapes, and their seasonal embossed patterns make them a natural way to decorate your kitchen throughout the year. That versatility, plus their durability, is exactly what makes Mason Cash such a popular gift and gift registry item for anyone who loves to bake, entertain, or simply have a beautiful kitchen.

The Original Cane bowl and the Color Mix collection

The Mason Cash Original Cane Bowl is the bowl that started it all, and its signature diamond-pattern embossment now anchors our Color Mix line. Color Mix bowls come in three sizes, Size 12, Size 18, and Size 24, and a rainbow of colors to match any kitchen: cream, cane, black, red, soft pink, soft blue, and butter yellow. A few favorites:

Prefer to sample the palette before committing to a full bowl? Try the Color Mix Pastels Mini Bowl Set or the Black & Cream Mini Prep Bowl Set.

In the Meadow: soft pastels and floral charm

The In the Meadow collection trades the diamond pattern for delicate floral embossments in soft pastel glazes, perfect for spring baking and everyday countertop beauty. Round out the set with the In the Meadow Batter Bowl, Pudding Basin, Mini Prep Bowls, and even matching Cake Stand and Butter Dish for a full tablescape.

In the Forest: woodland charm in earthy tones

Foxes, owls, bears, and hedgehogs romp across the In the Forest collection, embossed in warm earth tones that feel right at home in a farmhouse kitchen. Choose from the Cream Fox Bowl, Gray Fox Bowl, Stone Owl Bowl, Dark Green Owl Bowl, Ochre Bear Bowl, Red Hedgehog Bowl, and more, plus coordinating pieces like the In the Forest Mini Bowl Set of 4, the In the Forest Batter Bowl, or the In the Forest Measuring Jug.

Home to Roost: chickens and hens in bold spring and summer colors

For a bright, farmhouse-country look, the Home to Roost collection features charming chicken and hen embossments in bold, cheerful tones. Shop the Sawgrass Size 12, Cornflower Size 18, Sienna Size 24, and Buttercup Yellow Size 30 mixing bowls, along with the Home to Roost Batter Bowl and Mini Prep Bowls.

Nautical: calm ocean blues for coastal-inspired kitchens

Boats, crabs, and turtles bring coastal charm to the Nautical collection, glazed in calming ocean blue tones. Look for the Navy Boat Bowl, Size 12, Grey Crab Bowl, Size 18, and Turtle Blue Bowl, Size 24, plus the Nautical Batter Bowl and Mini Prep Bowls.

Pumpkin: rich fall tones for the coziest season

The Pumpkin collection embosses each bowl with a plump pumpkin in rich autumn hues, including the Orange Pumpkin Bowl, Size 12, Dark Red Pumpkin Bowl, Size 18, Cream Pumpkin Bowl, Size 24, Blue Pumpkin Bowl, Size 30, and the Pumpkin Mini Prep Bowl Set, all limited editions worth grabbing while they last.
