They notice odors trapped in material. They sense when a bowl sits at an angle. They prefer food served at the right height. The Aurex Ceramic Bowl was developed with all of these details in mind — not as a food dish, but as a dining vessel. High-temperature fired stoneware, a pore-free reactive glaze, an ergonomically elevated base. A bowl you do not hide when guests arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; font-weight: 400; color: #C4714F; margin-top: 36px; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0e0d6; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl is made from \u003cstrong\u003estoneware ceramic, fired at 1260 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e — a high-temperature firing process that fully vitrifies the clay matrix and produces a water absorption rate of under 0.5%. For comparison: ordinary earthenware ceramic is fired at 1000–1100 °C and has a water absorption rate of up to 15% — meaning bacteria, odors, and food residue can penetrate the material. With Aurex stoneware, that is physically impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe glaze is a \u003cstrong\u003efeldspar-based reactive glaze\u003c\/strong\u003e — during firing, the glaze components react with the stoneware to create a chemically bonded, pore-free seal. This glaze class is tested to \u003cstrong\u003eEN 12875 (European standard for food contact materials)\u003c\/strong\u003e — completely free of lead, cadmium, barium, and other heavy metals. The surface is scratch-resistant, dishwasher-safe, and retains its smoothness even after hundreds of cleaning cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; font-weight: 400; color: #C4714F; margin-top: 36px; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0e0d6; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Ergonomics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eelevated base with a wide foot ring\u003c\/strong\u003e raises the bowl rim to a height that places the cat's cervical spine in a natural, slightly lowered position during eating — without forcing the head fully downward. Veterinarians particularly recommend elevated bowls for cats with megaesophagus, arthritis, or chronic neck tension. The \u003cstrong\u003ewide, shallow bowl shape\u003c\/strong\u003e with a generous diameter prevents so-called \u003cem\u003eWhisker Fatigue\u003c\/em\u003e — the stress cats experience when their sensitive whiskers constantly touch the bowl walls during eating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe organically rounded outer profile and matte reactive glaze in warm earth tones fit any interior — from a minimalist city apartment to a nature-inspired country home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; font-weight: 400; color: #C4714F; margin-top: 36px; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0e0d6; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eSafety \u0026amp; Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTested to \u003cstrong\u003eEN 12875 (food contact materials)\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eEU Regulation 10\/2011\u003c\/strong\u003e — the strictest standards for materials in direct food contact.
