Famiware Star Stoneware Dishes

At 7.5 and 8.25 inches across, these four-ounce bowls are the shallow end of the Star pasta line. Six pieces come in a box, each as broad as a dinner plate but with a shallow well. Compared with the larger bowls in the same collection, they take a supporting role: a side of vegetables, a pool of sauce, a scattering of nuts.

That wide, low shape works well for dips and garnishes, where you want the food spread out rather than hidden in a deep bowl. Use them for olives at a gathering or for a single portion of broth on a weeknight. The matte glaze catches the light evenly, and the foot rim leaves a clean ring on the table.
