Product Description
Marcigny, a small town nestling between the hills of Southern Burgundy, has been home to Emile Henry for the past 150 years. Faithful to its origins, the entire production is carried out here. Thanks to its clay, rich in refractory properties, Burgundy has remained a fertile area for potters, passing on their savoir-faire from generation to generation. Clay, a natural and noble material, has been used since the mists of the time to cook or preserve food. While respecting the traditional techniques, Emile Henry has introduced technological improvements (Ceradon ®) so that the dishes are more resistant to mechanical and thermal shock. Strong, durable, all Emile Henry pieces can be taken directly from the freezer to the hot oven, can go under a broiler and is microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe. The natural clay is unsurpassed for conducting and retaining heat. All pieces are perfect for everyday use and carry a 3 year warranty against defects.

Over 150 years of experience have made the potters at Emile Henry expert at producing tableware that is as lovely as it is useful. Ever since 1850, Emile Henry has been producing ceramics in the Burgundy region of France from a clay of superior quality that holds up amazingly well to a wide range of temperatures. In addition, the company has developed patented technological improvements to increase the durability and strength of its tableware and bakeware.
The Emile Henry 5-piece Provencal pasta bowl set contains four 7-1/2- by 2-1/4-inch pasta bowls and one 12- by 3-1/2-inch pasta serving bowl. Besides their designated use, these bowls also make lovely counter display bowls for fruits or vegetables. Ultra-durable when exposed to a wide range of kitchen temperatures, the bowls can go straight from the freezer into a hot oven, and they're safe for use under a broiler or in a microwave. Emile Henry tableware is chip-resistant, sturdy, and lovely.
The beauty of Emile Henry's design is its simplicity; the pieces are solid-colored with simple raised borders. But the high-gloss glaze and rich, warm Provencal colors--pieces are available in Cerise Red, Citron Yellow, Azure Blue, and Vert Green--are anything but plain. Designed to evoke the sun-soaked palette of the South of France, these bowls can serve equally well in casual settings for everyday use or for more elegant tables on holidays and special occasions. Additional matching pieces in the Provencal style include various baking dishes, place settings, and serving pieces such as an oval platter, a pitcher, and a covered butter dish. Emile Henry pieces are dishwasher-safe, so they're easy to clean. The company offers a three-year warranty against defects.

"Great Value!" 2009-02-03
By S. Peterson (Annapolis, MD USA)
This bowl set is pretty and practical. The individual bowls are a good size and we've been using them for everything from chili and soup to ice cream. They feel substantial in the hand and hold the temperature of whatever food you're eating. The large bowl is truly large. I haven't actually measured the capacity, but it handles salad, rising bread dough, meatloaf mixture for a big family and of course pasta. I'm pleased with this purchase and will purchase it in the green if it goes on sale.
"This is a Lot of Pasta" 2008-06-14
By Tegger (Peoria, AZ)
I ordered this set, thinking I would be getting the individual pasta bowls and a 1 quart Pasta bowl. As Amazon sells the individual pasta bowls and a 1 quart pasta bowl seperately. Although the description gives the size of the bowls it doesn't tell you the capacity. The individual bowls will hold 2 cups of food with room to spare. This a great set, the Large Pasta Bowl, is not 1 qt, but a whopping 3 quarts. Like I said thats a lot of pasta. This is a great quality set, the bowls are sturdy and have a high quality glaze, you just need to pick your color. I got the yellow, but enjoy all the colors.
6/26/08 Update, the large bowl, is what Amazon is selling as the 4 qt bowl. Which I had ordered seperately thinking I would be getting a different size bowl.
