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

These bowls look and feel high quality…I use them for pastas, soups….

These are large, sturdy, colorful ceramic bowls that can hold large portions. They are oven safe, they are microwave safe, they are dishwasher safe, environmentally friendly, and lead free [as per the writing on the bottom]. Each of them are quite heavy, so be careful when handling them.

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.

These 9 bowls arrived without issue. They are beautiful and better looking in person than their pictures! I have used them for pasta, large salad, and as a mixing bowl. They are heavy, sturdy and beautiful. I highly recommend.

These dishes are prettier than the pictures. The patterns are gorgeous and the beautiful glaze really enhances them. They have a very sturdy weight and are a very functional size. More than pleased with this product.

Not as big as I thought

It’s really good quality and looks really nice on the table. I also bought the cappuccino cups and the plates and I’m in love with my new set!

I got the 9” diameter size. These will be our go to daily dishes instead of traditional big flat plates. Now that I’ve seen them and used them , I just ordered the matching 6” bowls. Selamica Porcelain is my choice! Out with the old, in with the new! I Love Amazon!

I just received my new bowls and they are the most beautiful dishes Ive ever seen. I can mix and match them with my white dishes. Gorgeous!! I would definitely recommend these beautiful bowls to anyone!

I got these for the kitchen and again my friends think I am buying them from some exotic locale when i am just getting them from Amazon. Friends are always complimenting me on these and wanting to know where I traveled to and found these. I still dont have the heart to tell them but have promised a couple of them I would get some for them the next time I go surfing (on Amazon.)
