There are two really good reasons for buying these pasta bowls: the versatile colours (you get 4 stunning shades of blue) and because they are durable. Being a clumsy washer-upper means I'm often accidentally breaking crockery but the Denby range always stands the test of time. Think less flimsy plates, more sturdy, built to last pieces that are also nice to look at. Did I mention how beautiful these bowls look in my kitchen?
