Sophie Conran 3-Piece White Salad Bowl Set - 11 x 33 x 11 cm Porcelain Serving Bowls for Entertaining, Kitchen & Dining Room Decor - Perfect for Salads, Pasta, Fruit & Party Appetizers

I've had these dishes for two years now and they are holding up well. I use all of my dishes regularly, as everyday dishes, and they're still in nearly perfect condition except for one chip in the rim of biscuit-colored cereal bowl, but considering that I stack my bowls in the cabinet and am not always gentle in putting them away, I think those are pretty good odds. I do not stack mugs and rims DO chip from stacking so if you're careful there, they should be fine.The blue shade is my favorite but food looks amazing against the white dishes. I'm not crazy about the biscuit but they all work well together and I get lots of compliments on these. They're classic but with a twist, made of delicate porcelain but durable, and really versatile. I wanted porcelain dishes, not stoneware, and I wanted them to be dishwasher and microwave safe. These go beyond and are also oven and freezer safe! Not that I've ever put any in the freezer but I bake and cook a lot and these have stood up to lots of use.They're also versatile in that I occasionally see a dish design that I have to have, usually at anthropologie. So I've bought random pieces here and there: dessert plates, a platter, teacups, etc. and they all coordinate beautifully with this set. They also look fabulous with an enameled cast iron pot or stainless roasting pan etc when everything is on the table. They're both rustic and classy, beautiful and simple, not too fussy, and have served me really well. I have my eye on a few other pieces and I expect these to last a long time.This bowl is so beautiful that I sometimes leave it out on the counter. It looks spectacular as a fruit bowl, with a green salad for a dinner party, or with a summery pasta salad. You could even serve some sort of a dessert in it. Also works really well for parties, could even be a classy chip bowl, or as a serving dish on a buffet. I lvoe these bowls and have them in all three sizes but the medium has proven to be the most versatile, and everything looks better against the white porcelain! Highly recommend!
