 Much smallerOct 27, 2008
By 88keys
Very nice colors. Excellent quality. (thick, not thin)
Only thing is that I thought a 2 cup item would be larger, thinking that their "2 cup" description meant that it would hold 2 cups of nuts, candy, or whatnot.
I actually "tested" it with a 2 cup measuring cup. The bowl only held the entire 2 cups of water because the water sort of "rounded up" and thus didn't go over the edge of the bowl.
If you plan to use it as a serving dish, as I did, you'll need to plan on about 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups of food product. If you need a 2 cup untensil, buy something else because the food would spill out if anyone dipped a spoon into it for their serving.

 Well made but much smaller than envisionedJan 03, 2010

I like to use colorful bowls to hold my balls of yarn when I'm knitting. It keeps the yarn clean and keeps the ball from rolling around on the floor becoming a toys for the dogs, kids, etc.
I guess I had no concept of how big a 2-cup bowl would be but it is tiny. As the original poster mentioned, I would not be able to use this for 2-cups of soup. The actual dimensions are about 5 inches across by 2.5 inches to the top of the rim (that is measuring from the inside of the wood). I think going by the actual dimensions gives you a much better idea of weather the bowl is going to do what you want it to do and wish the website would post that instead.
For use with "dry ingredients", I typically will use 100-gram skeins (I realize this is a weird benchmark for a bowl being sold in the kitchen section) and I can barely get one 100-gram ball in the bowl. By weight, 100 grams is about 4 ounces.
In terms of looks and build quality, these are nice little bowls. They seem solidly built and I don't have to worry about them breaking the same way ceramic bowls break. The finish is nice and smooth and they are a good thickness/weight and nicely balanced. They look very nice (and actually match my Options Interchangeable Harmony Wood Circular Knitting Needle Set ... yes I realize this is a very strange review!
However, the price -- relative to the size -- is rather expensive. If you are just buying them in ones or twos, probably not that big a deal. However, if you wanted to buy enough for an 8-piece place setting, you'd be spending a small fortune for something with very limited use. If you go up to the largest size, you're talking even more money.
So whether you are buying this bowl as a decorative item or as a serving dish, either way, I think you are going to be disappointed.

I really love these bowls. Have only used them once so far, but plan to have the entire set out for Thanksgiving. They are beautiful and people always ask about them. Love them!
These bowls are GORGEOUS!Apr 16, 2010
By Mom of 3
I bought the full set of these bowls as a gift, and ended up ordering myself a set, as well. They were just so beautiful!
I use each of them in my kitchen, like the 4oz as my salt bowl, 8oz for sugar packets,...they just add so much color and fun in my kitchen!
The quality is wonderful, and the colors are so vivid.
