The over and back serving bowls are my absolute favorite! They are ideal for large salads or side dishes because they are larger than typical soup bowls. Each bowl can hold up to 40 ounces. The bowls are composed of sturdy porcelain china that is chip and break resistant. I love that the serving bowls are safe to use in your dishwasher, microwave, and oven.The design is fantastic, and I think it would work in any kitchen. I would highly recommend the serving bowls!
