MIT Luxury Ashera Phunnel Bowl - Coral

The Ashera Phunnel in Coral takes its name from the Mediterranean - the dusty rose and mauve gradient catches the tones of the Corallium reefs the Phoenicians once traded across Tyre and Sidon. Classic single-spire phunnel architecture, fully glazed, 12 to 15 g capacity, built around the 93 mm silhouette MIT shapes by hand in Turkey.

MIT Luxury Ashera Coral Phunnel - Single-Spire Bowl for Dark Leaf and Mixes

Why This Shisha Bowl

• Drip-glazed coral palette. Glaze pools and gradients across the body from rose through mauve, breaking into peach-cream where the kiln catches the surface. Every bowl varies - no two Coral pieces glaze identically.
• Single-spire phunnel architecture. One raised central spire pulls heat through a single hole at the top, which slows the burn and keeps molasses in the bowl rather than draining into the stem. The four-petal notch detail at the spire crown is MIT's design signature.
• Sits in two lanes - dark leaf and mixes. The phunnel design takes dark leaf cleanly but also handles blonde-and-dark mixes that need controlled airflow. Tangiers, Trifecta, or an Adalya-Azure blend all ride it well.
• HMD-first dimensions. 78 mm outer rim, 62 mm inner bowl - the Kaloud Lotus 1+ and 1+3 seat flush. The 93 mm height keeps the bowl proud above the tray for easier coal management.
• 12 to 15 g capacity. Enough for a long session without overpacking. The taller silhouette gives the tobacco room to breathe between spire and rim.
• Glazed Turkish stoneware. Twice-fired at 1240-1280°C with a food-safe glaze layer over a vitrified stoneware body. The unglazed clay band at the top rim is where MIT's makers leave their fingerprint - literally.

Fit & Compatibility

The 78 mm outer rim and 62 mm inner chamber accept the Kaloud Lotus 1+ and Lotus 1+3 with a flush seat - we've tested both across the Ashera colourways. Aluminium foil works just as cleanly if you prefer manual heat control, with or without a Provost screen. The bowl seats on a standard hookah grommet, so it pairs with virtually any modern stem.

Care & Maintenance

• Rinse with warm (not hot) water and a soft brush after each session. The food-safe glaze means the bowl doesn't retain flavour between sessions, so flavour swapping is fine.
• Avoid dish soap, abrasive cleaners, and dishwashers. Dishwasher cycles stress fired stoneware over time and can dull the glaze.
• Let the bowl cool fully before rinsing - thermal shock cracks clay.
• Store dry in a temperature-stable spot. Avoid stacking bowls on top of each other.

How close will my bowl look to the photos?

Every Coral piece is hand-glazed, so the rose-to-mauve gradient runs differently on every bowl. The colour family will match - dusty rose, peach-cream highlights, deeper mauve in the lower body - but the exact pattern of glaze pooling and drip lines is unique to the piece you receive. That variation is the craft, not a defect.

What's the difference between a phunnel and a multi-hole bowl?

A phunnel has a single raised spire with one hole through the top - it keeps molasses in the bowl rather than draining into the stem, and slows the burn for longer sessions. A multi-hole bowl like a Turkish has several holes across the bottom and runs hotter, faster. The Ashera is a phunnel, so it's built for slower, denser sessions on dark leaf or mixes.

Should I pick Coral or one of the other Ashera colourways?

Pick based on what you actually want sitting on your stem - the four Ashera colourways are functionally identical bowls glazed in different palettes. Coral leans soft and warm; the others lean in different visual directions. Performance, capacity, and dimensions are the same across all four.
