Ace Phunnel Bowl — Gilt-Trimmed Base, Four Statement Glazes

Why This Bowl Works

• Gold-trimmed ceramic base is the detail that sets the Ace apart — a subtle gilt ring that lifts the whole piece without overplaying it.
• Four proper statement glazes: Ember burns warm terracotta with dark splatter, Cobalt is deep blue with a punchy yellow highlight inside the spire, Ochre runs mustard yellow with dark marble, and Obsidian is glossy black with wine-red and olive streaking.
• Two-tone stem finish — the glaze streams down from the bowl partway before giving way to raw matte ceramic. Great visual rhythm on a clear glass base.
• Tapered cone stem is a cleaner silhouette than a ribbed or carved stem — suits modern minimalist pipes especially well.
• 258g keeps the handling balanced — you feel the weight without fighting it on a taller stem.
• Phunnel spire, standard 20g pack, universal HMD rim — all the functional stuff is dialled.

Fit & Compatibility

Fits any bowl grommet. Rim accepts Kaloud Lotus, Provost, DreamsHeats, and similar HMDs. Runs foil cleanly too.

How to Pack & Light It

Loose pack around the spire, don't compress. Pop your foil on with pinpricks or seat your HMD. Two to three lit coconut coals, three to five minute heat, then start slow and let the flavour open up.

Care & Maintenance

• Let the bowl cool completely before handling or cleaning.
• Soak in warm water to loosen residue, then scrub with a soft brush or sponge.
• Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals — they can dull the glaze over time.
• Rinse thoroughly and air-dry before storage to prevent flavour carryover.
• Ceramic is durable but will chip if knocked against hard surfaces — handle with care.

FAQ

Will the gold finish wear off?

It's a fired gilt ceramic finish, not a coating — it doesn't wear under normal use. Avoid abrasive cleaning and it holds up.

How does the Ace compare to the King?

The Ace is lighter (258g vs 275g) with a tapered cone stem and a gold rim detail. The King is heavier with a smoother broader stem and no gold trim. Different vibes — Ace is elegant, King is heavy-duty.

What's the yellow detail inside the Cobalt variant?

Intentional — it's a yellow glaze accent applied around the spire that contrasts against the deep blue. Gives Cobalt its visual character.

Does Obsidian look fully black?

Mostly — there are subtle wine-red and olive streaks under the glossy black glaze that show when light hits the bowl. Reads black from a distance, reveals character up close.
