"This is it! I was looking for the perfect small soup bowl that could also double as a rice bowl and found this great bowl. The shape of the bowl is perfect because its sides are straighter than most, keeping soup spills to a minimum during transport to the table. (not loving those pretty shallow bowls where everything spills out so easily!). It holds about 2 cups worth of food in a compact shape for stacking. There is a smart slight increase in thickness right near the bottom of the bowl to make it easier to hold when grabbing from the cabinet.
love it. i considered the henry soup bowl, the square bowls (also annoying for transport b/c the edges just ask for spillage!), and the bistro bowl, but this one was the winner.
the only minus is that the color is not bright white like the rest of my plates (essential plates). but that's ok...it's so minor and no one will notice that it's just white, not bright white :D"
