Gourmet Basics by Mikasa Verona Cream Set of 4 Pasta Bowls, 8 Inch

I liked the design of everything, but the supplier didn't pack properly, and 3 of the bowl was broken. Please pack it properly and put a sign on it " fragile" or something

Love these bowls! They're gorgeous, heavy, and of a wonderful quality. They look exactly like the picture as well. No complaints!

The media could not be loaded.  The bowls looked much better in the photos than in person. The design fell flat to me when I got em in my hands. All the bowls but one were also broken right out of the box. Investing in better packaging material for fragile material like this well help during transit. Returning and looking elsewhere.

I got these because I am in the market for some new bowls/plates and thought these would match the plates I currently have. These bowls are nicely weighted, a bit heavier than you would expect, but not heavy heavy, and the bump pattern on the outside, makes them less slippery feeling in the hands. The glaze is beautiful - almost a dark metallic finish towards top and a brown/tan glaze in the center.As for size, they are 8" wide and about 2" tall, so it holds a decent amount of food...they are really in between a bowl and a plate. For soups, it might be to swallow for some, but for me, it is pretty good size (though french onion definitely needs to go into a taller bowl). I think for my household, these will become the go to dish for dinner...since it will hold nearly everything.As for cleanup - we don't use our dishwasher (though these are dishwasher safe), so we hand-washed them, and the cleanup was quick and easy. The glaze doesn't hold onto much, so with very little power, these bowls were clean in no time.Overall - I love them and will use them a lot in the future. Do I recommend them...yes - especially if you like brown/tan dishes, and don't mind a little weight in your bowls. I would love to see these in blue!

beautifully designed set of bowls. quite a large capacity , a little more shallow than i was hoping but they work well for all kinds of different foods, not just pasta. easy to clean, durable with normal use. My son dropped one on our hard wood floor and it did break but that would be expected, did not splinter too much when it broke, mainly just several large pieces so I appreciated that during cleanup. I would like more pieces in this set if they are available
