Love these bowls.  Just looking at them makes me smile, even when I'm washing them!  .I find that we keep reaching for them  when it's time to eat.  They go way beyond pasta or soup bowl.  They are an every food bowl/plate.  Not only nice size and balance but beautiful colors.  I read where reviewer said they chip so I take a few min. and hand wash them.  They are too good to be put in with all the regular dishes!  Highly recommend buying them Don't think you'll be disappointed.
