Good for pasta and veggies. Much too large for an average bowl of ice cream or cereal. They are not wide and shallow like you might see at an Italian restaurant.

Hi: Bowls easily hold 24 ounces of liquid and measure 6 inches across and 3 1/4 inches high. Hope this helps.

Not big enough for pasta, but almost too big for ice cream unless you like a large scoop. Bowls very nice for cereal or soup.

Nice size. Would handle pasta well. I measured and they hold just a little over three cups of water.

I am traveling, and will be home next week. I can measure the bowls for you then, but my best guess is that the largest is about 10" across, and 8" deep. They next, and I use the smallest one for whipping two egg whites for my meringues. The smallest one is 8" across and 6" deep.

Hey Laurie I actually bought these as a gift for my mother so I do not know the size of each bowl. She does love them though! Sorry I could not be more help.

Hi Bernard, the diameter of the shallow pasta bowls is 8 1/2 inches. PS It's been a while since I bought these, so I can't remember exactly which serving bowl came with the set, but I have two sizes of Corelle serving bowls: the smaller one has the same diameter as the pasta bowls and the larger serving bowl has a 10-inch diameter.

The large bowl is 3 1/4 in deep and the small bowls are 1 1/2 in deep. They aren't as deep as I would have liked....but they are pretty and very durable and do great in the dishwasher and do the job. I think they are worth it. For the price you cant go wrong!!!!

The soup "plates" - I know, odd to call a bowl a "plate"; I guess because it's shallow - is suitable for cereal too. They are about 8 inches in diameter, and 1-5/8 inches high, if that helps. I was able to put 2 cups of Kix plus milk in the soup plate, if that helps. I almost prefer the shallow sides, versus a steep sided, taller bowl. Don't own the pasta bowls. Regarding someone's answer about the fruit bowls, they are VERY small - might hold half as much cereal.

There are three, 1 1/2 inches, 1 7/8 inches and 2 3/8 inches wide. I love mine. They work great for scooping cookie batter or putting batter in cup cake liners without making a mess. They would not work for ice cream. Hope they work for you, The small spoons are more like little toys, I gave them to my grand daughters to play tea party with. The small spoons are not metal.

They are a good size. I would say they are about 10 inches. They are good dinner size plates. They are what i would consider standard size.

The bowls are bigger. They are a good size for pasta or serving rice and vegetables

The bowls are 6-7 inches wide, we gave them as a gift so I can't remember the exact size, however, they are somewhat shallow, only about an inch or 1 1/2 inches deep. They are decent but I think most people will be going back for seconds if they use them. Hope this helps!

From the countertop on which it sat to the brim of the bowl, I measured 1 5/8." They are shallow but beautiful. I'm very happy with them. They work well with soup, salad, pasta meals. If I might suggest a deeper bowl that I just bought, try this link: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/mercer-8-low-bowl/s512389 I got them for $5.95 - now they're $4.76. They're unusual and a perfect size. Good luck.

A little small for a side dish, although not impossible. I use them for pasta Bowles and salads. They could also be used for larger portions of soup.

The bowls are really designed for salads or small amounts of soups, it is about 1 1/2 inches deep. You can use if of course for cereal but you may need to have seconds!

The description was tamale/cereal bowls? I was confused since I wanted large bowls, but decided if they weren't the right size I would return them. They were perfect for pasta too big for cereal--unless you ate the whole box. I did not measure them & since they were a gift--I guess about 8 inches around and nice & deep. Hope this helps.

The description says they are 8 oz. Before I purchased them, I took a measuring cup and poured 8 oz of liquid into an existing bowl to get an idea. 8 oz in this bowl would go all the way to the rim. They are the perfect size for a small serving of ice cream (maybe two small scoops), gelato, or fruit. They are not large enough for a cereal bowl, in my opinion. I wanted a bowl that was not too large, because when you serve ice cream, you don't want it lost in the bowl. To me, they are a perfect small dessert size.

The bowls are 3-1/2" deep by 9-1/2" in diameter. They hold about five cups of dry food (flat nugget) without spilling over. Bentley has a large Sharpei muzzle and he eats very well from the bowls.

Approx. Vanilla wafer sized. They would be small ice cream sandwiches, which wouldn't be bad.
