Dishwasher Safe Soup Bowl

These bowls are inspired by authentic diner pieces. They were originally made by the Buffalo China Co., which was founded in New York in 1901 to produce the plates offered as premiums by a soap manufacturer. That sturdy dinnerware went on to become popular at roadside diners along the new U.S. highways and today it's a classic. Replicating a style from the 1940s, our dinnerware is creamy white – the natural color of the clay – with a durable, clear glaze. Microwavable; oven and dishwasher safe. 10-oz.

In response to our customers' suggestions, we designed these bowls for generous servings of hearty soups, chowders and chili.

You can even use them for baking pot pies. Microwavable; oven and dishwasher safe. 5" diam., 17-oz. maximum cap. Set of four. Made in China. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.
