I am wondering about the bowl size. Are the bowls just cereal/fruit bowls or are they bigger like for a dinner size pasta or salad? Thanks!

To me they are definitely larger than a fruit bowl. If pasta or a salad were the ONLY thing I was serving I'd think they were a little small. For us they're perfect to go with the set. If anything a little on the large size. We like the set very much. Good luck with your decision.

Definitely bigger. They fit a lot and are wider than cereal bowls. Really a good all purpose size!

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

They are salad size. It depends on individual preference as it fits our meal portions. We have pasta, noodles etc in these bowls. I like the clean look. Hope this helps.

Yes they're perfect for a dinner size portion of pasta. But they are NOT WHITE like pictured in the photo. They're cream colored.

They are wide, more like dinner size bowls. But of course, it depends on one's taste. So they can be used for a small serving or large serving. Everything in the set is supersized, bigger, but not heavier than any plates/bowls I have ever owned. I still like them, because I can serve any size food without the spills or mess of using small serving dishes/plates.

The floral plates are only the salad plate size, and the dinner plates are designed but solid. The bowls are different colored flowers. They all go together well. So pretty.

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 actually pretty small. I don't know in terms of quarts how big they are but I was surprised by the size when I received them. The work well when prepping in advance certain things but they are small so they don't hold certain things.

I love my soup/pasta bowls, but I rarely use them for soup. I usually use them for pasta or as a dinner plate (small piece of chicken, rice & veggie). I don't think the are really deep enough for soup or cereal.

The bowls in the set I bought for a rental property are more like cereal bowls. Pasta bowls tend to be larger and shallower. A great looking set of dishes for the price!

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.

They are pretty thin, but it still might make a decent spaghetti style noodle for you. We use it mostly for our carrots and cucumbers in salads. What I would do is to try a little and see how it turns out before dedicating the whole zucchini to it.

Im in the process of moving and have two sets one in storage in each country. Love the dishes. I just remember that my husband liked the size of the cereal bowls and I think they are round but with a wavy pattern

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.

4 large flat bowls, 4 salad plate, 4 mugs, and 4 large plates. I have two sets. I ordered 8 cereal bowls in different colors because we like that kind of bowl for most things. The flat bowls are great for salad, stews, chili, and chowders. We use the salad plates more than the dinner plates. We like the size better. I really like these dishes. I hope this helps. I don't regret the purchase.

I can tell you that we're pretty hard on our dishes and these have held of well. We LOVE them. The only downside is they are heavy. I'm thinking that we've had them for almost two years now and I don't believe that we have one chip. The bowls are really a good size for cereal, fruit, etc. The salad plates are big enough to be used as dinner plates. (To be honest, if you fill the dinner plates with food -- you're eating WAY too much. :-) )

These "small" salad bowls are about 2 inches tall and just over 5" inches in diamater at the top. They hold about 12-15 fluid oz. They are an everyday cereal/soup bowl. A bit smaller than some cereal bowls I've owned in the past, but only a bit. We've had them for about 5 months, and we love them! Very strong, not easily breakable, and also microwavable.

Hi, Ann. The bowls are smaller than some "cereal" bowls. Great for fruit, yogurt, etc. They stack sufficiently. You would need a 10-inch high cupboard to stack 8. I think stacking eight seems precarious but 6 works great.Wynndi

Ha, I hadn't thought about cereal bowls that would match. I use white corelle bowls for cereal, but they certainly don't match. You would need to find a cream colored bowl with a plain edge. The bowls that come with the set are great for soup and salads, but definitely not deep enough for cereal unless you are like me and don't like your cereal soaking in lots of milk.

You are correct. I purchased the bowls thinking I could serve individual salads but they are 9 inches in diameter and 3 1/2 deep (measured with my yardstick). I use them as serving bowls but will not ever use all I bought. I later purchased the smaller bowls which are around 5 3/8 diameter and 2 inches deep. Still enjoy their unique look and I am happy with the purchase.

Hi ... the largest bowl is about 10" across the top (narrows at the bottom) and is approximately 6" deep. Hope that helps. (I love the bowls ... in fact,I just ordered another set from JC Penney on line as they were on sale in Red.). AMAZON is a great place to purchase them though.
