These bowls are huge!! My husbands criteria for a new dish set included pasta bowls, with no exceptions.  We purchased a full set of 8 of mugs, dishes, bowls, and love all of it!   These bowls get the most use so far, great for tacos, soups and even pasta!  The colors go prefect in our 1950s vintage kitchen, light teal, light denim blue, grey and white.  I wasnt sure I would like the flecks, but they dont bother me at all.  They are durable and look handmade, we are very happy with this purchase.
