My last set of Corelle dishes had bowls this size. We used them for so many things (they are a great size for ice cream). My new Corelle dishes only came with the larger bowls. I thought we would be okay without the small ones, but we definitely were not. I ordered these so my family would let me get rid of my old, tired pattern. They coordinate with my new dishes (Kyoto Leaves). I think Corelle patterns should all come with both sizes of bowls.
