"I'm now a huge Emile Henry fan!"
I bought the Cobalt Blue ones and I absolutely LOVE THEM!! At the time, I wasn't quite sure exactly what I'd be using them for but they quickly have become a favorite in my kitchen. They make WONDERFUL salad bowls, cereal bowls, pasta bowls, soup bowls not to mention fabulous serving bowls. I'm so terribly disappointed that they have discontinued the Cobalt color as I would have liked to complete my set but I like the quality and am in LOVE with the VIBRANT blast of color on these that I've decided to mix & match various colors. I only hope that Amazon will bring back the individual dinnerware sets so that I can do that.

These bowls are slightly larger than I would think I would use for ice cream (not that I wouldn't want to eat that much :-)) but I've used them every night to fill up on salad and have had several of them out on the table with various veggies and they make a beautiful presentation. Besides the vibrant splash of color, I love the design of these bowls in that they are wider at the base so there is no chance that they'll wobble like my other Pflatzgraff bowls.

Others have claimed that their items have arrived broken...while I agree that Emile Henry could package their dishes a lot better (one of my boxes of bowls had a thin layer of padding on the top of the box while the bottom portion was heavily padded...I got lucky and all 8 bowls arrived in perfect condition. There were a couple of bowls that had a teeny bubble in the glaze but it was minor and the others are flawless. Thank you, Amazon for pricing it so that I could afford them. I've wanted to try this line out for almost 8 years and was only able to because of your pricing. I only wish I had the entire cobalt set!!!

"Emile Henty Pasta Bowls"
Dear Sir or Madam,

When I purchased these bowls, it was because I was recently introduced to Emile Henry kitchen ware and love it. However, I had no real purpose for buying the bowls, I just thought they looked nice. And yet, since I got them, I use them every day! They are so versatile, I use them for everything from soup to leftovers. The look lovely on the table and clean up to look like new.

Great product. As soon as I have a good excuse to do it, I'm going to buy more!

Sincerely,
Rita Baumann

"useful elegance"
These are the bowls you reach for several times a day -- beautiful, easy to clean, versatile.

"Beautiful and tough: best ever for pasta, soup, and salad"
These bowls are the workhorses of our kitchen: tough enough for everyday use (and frequent runs through our UNcareful dishwasher) and pretty enough to put out for company.

When I first began using Emile Henry table and cookware years ago, the idea of banging around the kitchen with pottery (especially pottery with unglazed bits like the bottoms [not the sides] of these bowls) made me very nervous. But in time, we've learned that this pottery requires no special handling. Almost anything else in our kitchen has to be treated more carefully than these hefty bowls.

And almost nothing is as versatile. Although our nest is empty, I bought several sets of these because they are useful for soup, salad, and dessert -- and more. That they can go in the microwave and oven and under the broiler means that they are useful small serving dishes: vegetables and cobblers, for instance.

The red is beautiful and bright. And the bowls are so useful that I consider picking up this set in other colors, too.

"Amazing Everyday Use!"
These bowls are perfect for everyday use. Infact, I find myself eating atleast 2 meals a day in them! They heat up in the micro and look great on the table. Very durable and heavy enough to provide some gravitas to your next meal, be it oatmeal or pasta!
