Beautiful bowls.  We already had a couple of these.  We use them for when my husband makes us each a big salad, or when we have one-bowl meals with lots of ingredients with liquids.  They are very nice for microwaving something that you are going to carry to the family room to eat, so want to have not-too-full and a good rim to hold it by.  I got the Tangerine color that we have in some of our dishes already and it is as pretty as the 12 year-old ones.  I also got the Sunshine and a green, kind of lime  Both are yummy and balance well.
