I used this dining bowl for the first time last week. I like the fact that it held a hearty portion of pasta and I was able to put a little side salad in the same dish.  The bowls are perfect for making various kinds of Buddha Bowls.  They are a very crisp white bowl which goes with all my various dinnerware.  They seem sturdy and I had no trouble with them in the dishwasher. I would buy them again.
