I love the look of this set, and was happy with both plates and the serving bowl. However, the regular bowl is totally impractical! It is very shallow (the bottom is convex, so you have even less room than it looks like). I'm not sure what we could really use it for -not deep enough for cereal or soup, and too small for pasta. I guess it's good for a side salad.
I might keep all the plates and just find a more convenient white bowl to coordinate somewhere else. So disappointing because the the straight lines and right angles are fabulous.
