These bowls feel so nice to hold, the depth, width, weight and shape are pretty standard and the areas that it touches the table are perfectly smooth. The glaze seems mostly stable even on the darkest cobalt but it's not perfectly glossy, leading me to feel iffy about putting high acid food in the bowls, but I bought them for cereal, not tomato soup, so I am pretty comfortable. They really are just so smooth and nice to hold. I recently got three sets of different bowls from different companies to figure out which I like best and by far, these ones are the nicest. I definitely would buy again and might actually replace my least favorite bowls with these.
