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

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.

Theyre beautiful and a great size! Love them!

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

Prettier than I expected and really useful.

was gifted these Bowls to do an honest review on and am very pleased with their quality. The pieces are heavy, durable, and resist chipping, unlike other stoneware Ive had. The pattern is soft and not overstated, so it goes well with the latest trend in farmhouse decor. Plates have resisted stains, and clean up easily both hand wash or dishwasher. Very satisfied.

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

Love the look of these bowls. Use them to serve meals every time. They are a good size and the colors are cheerful, they are sturdy am should last a long time. Love them.

I bought multiple sizes of plates and bowls and LOVE them, but after several washes in the dishwasher (claim to be dishwasher safe), they have started to fade, pretty badly. Now I have to handwash to them keep what design is left on them - HUGE DISSAPPOINTMENT having to handwash to keep them looking good!!!

This are large, heavy porcelain bowls that are fantastic for pasta, soup or ice cream sundaes. They clean well in the dishwasher. The white bowl is a standard sized bowl for comparison. I love these bowls!

Big, easy to clean and very pretty. I would recommend buying theses. Delivered quickly.
