Famiware 23 oz Cereal Bowl Set and 3oz Espresso Cups and Saucers Set- Star

A single bowl sits heavier in the hand than its size suggests. That weight is a consequence of stoneware fired dense, vitrified through to the body, not a thick wall but a solid one. The matte finish is even and holds the light without shine.

The same density that gives the bowl a solid weight in the hand also makes it brittle. A rim chip is possible if the bowl is knocked against metal or stone. Stacking more than two risks the unglazed foot ring marking the glaze of the bowl below. For a weeknight cereal or a bowl of stew, the trade-off is worth it: the bowl stays put, keeps its heat, and cleans up in the dishwasher.
