Selamica Porcelain 40oz Large Bowls 9 inch Big Pasta Salad Bowls, Microwave and Oven Safe, Vintage Blue, Set of 6

I absolutely love this plates and always get compliments on them.

Beautiful dishes.

Love using these for pasta or soup. Can use in dishwasher and microwave.

I wanted large bowls (for enjoying big salads) that went with my collection of dishes from Japan. These looked like they could meet the need, and they were the largest ones I could find, holding 40 ounces according to the description. They survived shipment nicely, but when unpackaged, four of six had defects, either excessive glaze pooling or issues with the pattern (see photos; I couldn’t photograph the glaze pooling, so these are of the pattern defects). Only two of the six should have made it past quality control. I was really disappointed. But then I decided to reach out to the company, as the little note in the box said to if there were any issues. They offered a refund (though the amount they offered didn’t match what I had paid, was less by over $5), or a replacement set, without having to return the first set. I was a bit worried when I went for the replacement set; if it had 4 defective bowls as well, I didn’t know what I’d do then. But this time it came with only one bowl that had issues, and that was some smearing of the pattern on the outside in a small place. Not ideal, but not at all like the first batch. The remainder would pass strict QC, no problem, and were absolutely lovely. The bowls are large enough for a good, filling salad for my lunch, and they are pretty enough (the perfect ones, anyway) to go with my other Asian dishware. The colors are saturated nicely in the darker bowls, especially in the newer set, and the glaze is nice and even in this replacement set, no bubbling or pooling. I love that they go in the dishwasher; I have some others I don’t risk in there, but these have the shiny glaze that makes them safe for this. So, bottom line, if you need bowls like this, take the chance that you’ll get a really good set like I did the second time. If you don’t get a good set, or anything is broken or otherwise damaged, just let them know, and they are good about helping. The first set was three stars, the second five, which is why I averaged for a four star rating. Five stars for the customer service, though. I am going to enjoy using these every day.

Great for pasta or salad

Beautiful, sturdy and a delightful addition to my kitchen. I love each one of the different patterns. Highly recommend!

Very pretty bowls, we use them all the time

While theyre pretty, weve already had 2 break just from washing them. They are so heavy and get very slippery when wet obviously, but the way they taper to the edge from the middle makes them impossible to hold and very easy to drop back into the dish water. The first one cracked in the dishwasher from who knows what, and the second broke to pieces just from plopping back into an EMPTY dish bin with water in it. Theyre also VERY heavy, but not in the sturdy way, in the cumbersome way. Find something else.

Matches my formal dining room perfectly. They are so pretty in person and great quality! Need to get the other matching dishes!

Love the fun colors of these bowl. Perfect size for a “meal” salad or pasta. I would definitely buy again.
