Love these bowls!  I decided to order because I loved the shape and the color.  I was concerned that they would be too heavy to handle on a routine basis, but they are just right. They are heavy enough to be sturdy, but not too bulky or heavy to handle daily. These serving bowls are the perfect size for serving sides for the family dinners. The corresponding smaller bowls are just the right size to act as individual salad bowls which add a pop of color to my table.
