Know before you buy
Yes, with a 3-quart capacity, this 12-inch bowl is designed specifically for family-style serving. It comfortably holds enough pasta, salad, or side dishes to serve a small to medium-sized group.
The matte finish on the Colorwave collection is durable, but like all matte stoneware, it can be susceptible to metal marking from flatware. Using standard stainless steel utensils is generally fine, but be mindful of heavy scraping.
Yes, this bowl is microwave safe. It is constructed from durable stoneware, making it suitable for reheating leftovers or warming up dishes before serving.
At 3.4 pounds, this bowl has a substantial, high-quality feel. It is heavy enough to remain stable on the table when full, but not so heavy that it becomes difficult to pass around.
Yes, the interior features a glossy cream finish that is non-porous and easy to wipe clean. It is also dishwasher safe, which helps maintain the finish without requiring intensive scrubbing.
Absolutely. The Colorwave collection is specifically designed to be mixed and matched. The neutral cream interior makes it easy to coordinate with other pieces in the line to create a custom table setting.
