Pasta bowls
I love these bowls which can be used for soup ceral pasta or what ever they and thick, heavy, pretty and the size is terific.
The William Morris edict
If we are to "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful" (pace William Morris), then these bowls belong, under one species or the other. And, for Emile Henry-philes like me, under both.
The bowls won't go with everything. Except for the blues and the brown, Emile Henry colors and heft demand to be set among similarly strong colors and heavy pieces. But they're cheerful in every season and they won't slide around as you chase down that last strand of spaghetti.
Sturdiness is one of the qualities I admire most about Emile Henry pieces. Although I have other bowls and plates and serving pieces, these are the longest wearing. They accept rough treatment from the dishwasher and from being jostled around in the cupboards. They tolerate long distance moves (and movers!). And they take the insults of daily use without showing a sign of wear.
These bowls are no exception to the high standard of other Emile Henry...
Lovely and perfectly sized
I love the bright color and sturdy size of these bowls. I smile every time I use them. I'm surprised by the reviews that say these aren't big enough for a pasta entree. I thought I ate rather large portions and I can assure you these are ample for even my ravenous appetite. In fact, I sometimes feel a bit gluttonous when I've served up a big dish of pasta in these!
The bowls are also great for salads - so large you can easily toss the dressing / salad in the bowl before serving. Definitely main-course sized and not for a smaller side salad. These are also great as family-style serving dishes for mashed potatoes, veggies, etc.
Have had absolutely no chipping or scratching, despite heavy use and stacking them one on top of the other. Love 'em.
Update: I find myself using these bowls constantly - not just for eating but for preparing food as well. I just purchased a second set. Definitely the favorite bowls I own. And I just love the fact that they are...
