This is a great bowl, especially for those of you like me who are rough on your bowls when your loading the washer. This would be great for a soup or any type of single food serving. These are not deep enough to do any mixing in, but they are wide enough which enables them to hold a nice size portion of food. They are more elegant than they appear in the photo and can be matched to a wide range of dinnerware. Recommended.

These are nice bowls, just the right size for serving veggies with dinner (i.e. if you microwave a bag of frozen corn, you can dump it in the bowl for serving.) Very safely packed for shipping - however, one of my bowls did have a slight blue mark on the edge (probably a quarter of an inch - I don't think it happened during shipping, as there wasn't anything blue in the box). Not bad enough for me to return it, I'll update the review if I am able to get the mark off using a Magic Eraser sponge, or similar.

Simplicity, it can be a really good thing. A plain simple white wide bowl, is elegant and always correct. These are beautiful bowls. The form is just about perfect, wide and shallow. Any food placed in these bowls looks wonderful. With plain white dishes, the focus is always on the food and not the embellishments around it. The bowls feel good in my hand. They have a certain solid weight to them. They are not flimsy bowls. The bowls are marked lead free. The website description says they are microwave and dishwasher safe, and my testing says they are just that. They are not marked on the bottom microwave and dishwasher safe. The glaze is uniform. There are very small places on the bottom edge that are not glazed, but that is probably from the rack they were sprayed on during manufacture. The theory behind the heft, it will hold heat better and your vegetables or low heat food, will stay warmer longer. That is a nice theory. The only reason I don't love these bowls, they are a bit on the pricey side. On the other hand, they are serving bowls, and you don't need 500 of them. The Crate and Barrel or Ikea versions are all much thinner ceramic and less expensive. If you don't mind a slightly pricey bowl, these Tom Douglas bowls are a winner. I've posted some pictures. The bowls are a bit smaller than I imagined from the product pictures. The shipping box is super duper industrial, the bowls should never chip or crack in that box.
May 24, 2010 update - after using these bowls for some time now, I love these things. They are well worth the price. They feel great in your hand, food looks fantastic in them, and they really do work with keeping food warm. The form is impressive.
August 29, 2010 update - every single time I use these bowls I think about how much I've come to love them. They just feel fantastic in my hand, the weight, the form, and the size. This is one of those things, buy the best you can afford. These really are the best.

This is a good set of bowls. They are heavy and sturdy. They also claim to be chip resistant. They are made by Homer Laughlin and are lead free. The diameter is about 7.5 inches bt are not too deep. I use them to put fruit in the center of the table or to serve food. They are nice bowls but not inexpensive.
