Know before you buy
No, the Valhalla (2799) pattern was officially retired by Noritake in 2002. These pieces are now considered collectible items.
No. Due to the delicate gold encrusted band and the nature of the porcelain, this bowl is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. Hand washing is required to preserve the finish.
This coupe soup bowl measures 7 1/2 inches in diameter, making it the standard size for individual soup servings in this pattern.
No, these bowls are not designed to be stackable. We recommend using protective padding between each piece if you are storing them to prevent scratching the gold and cobalt detailing.
The coupe shape is characterized by a smooth, rimless design that curves directly from the base to the edge. This provides a modern, minimalist silhouette compared to traditional rimmed soup bowls.
