The Charon is Solaris's red clay and faience blend bowl - a slightly different material mix from the Pluto, with the same hand-painted finish that makes every piece a one-off.

Solaris Charon - red clay and faience blend with hand-painted finish
What the Charon brings
- Thick clay walls distribute heat evenly and prevent scorching even on longer sessions.
- Handmade and hand-painted in Ukraine - each bowl is a unique piece, not a factory run.
- Glazed finish resists moisture absorption and limits ghosting between flavour changes.
- Red clay and faience mix - denser than straight clay.
- Kaloud Lotus, Provost, and standard foil all seat cleanly on the rim.
- 10-15 g capacity suits both light and dark shisha blends.
Setting up the bowl
- Pack shisha to just below the rim - fluffy for blonde leaf, denser for dark.
- Foil with pierced holes, or drop your HMD on top.
- Two or three natural charcoal cubes, allow 3-5 minutes for the clay to heat through.
- Adjust heat by rotating or lifting coals as the session progresses.
Care
- Cool fully before handling.
- Soak in warm water for 10-15 minutes to loosen residue.
- Gentle soft brush - no abrasive scourers.
- Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
- Rotate between bowls if you own multiple - it extends their working lifespan.

FAQ
What's faience and why does it matter?
Faience is a tin-glazed earthenware - traditionally used for its heat behaviour and visual finish. Blended with red clay, it gives the Charon slightly different heat retention compared to a pure red clay bowl.
