Know before you buy
Yes, these bowls are dishwasher safe. Despite the delicate gold detailing, they are designed to withstand standard dishwasher cycles for convenient cleanup.
Absolutely. With a 12 oz. capacity and an 8 1/2 inch diameter, they are well-suited for serving pasta, salads, or hearty grain bowls in addition to soup.
These bowls are crafted from fine bone china, which is prized for its high level of whiteness, translucency, and exceptional strength compared to standard porcelain.
The bowls have an item height of 1.5 inches. This shallow, wide profile makes them versatile for various courses while maintaining an elegant aesthetic.
The gold band is etched into the fine bone china, which provides better durability than surface-printed designs. To maintain the luster of the gold, we recommend avoiding abrasive scrubbers during cleaning.
