These are super cute and the perfect size for soup, salad, cereal or rice. Not too big and not too small, with just enough of a flare at the rim to be pretty without spilling anything over the top. The patterns are great, every one is different, so you can pretty much match them with any color plates or tableware. They're sturdy, too, and don't feel fragile. I love that they can go right in the microwave for reheating. If they came in a hundred patterns I suspect I'd end up owning a hundred bowls!
