Like the other reviewer, my dishes are a combination of Dansk Concerto Allegro Blue and Christianshavn. We use these pasta bowls all the time, and not just for pasta. They are also good if you are eating soup or casseroles. On the four for three special, they would average in cost to be $8.24 each and with super saver shipping, this is a good price. Even though these are billed as individual pasta bowls, they are large enough to use for condiments as well, so they do double duty as servers.

I wasn't sure what to expect with these pasta bowls as I purchased them sight unseen. They have a nice weight to them and appear very sturdy. They are labeled dishwasher and microwave safe which is a plus. The size is perfect for individual servings of pasta (the main reason I bought these, but you could not doubt use these for soups and serving dishes). Overall I am extremely happy with these and would consider other Dansk products based solely on these pasta bowls.

I ordered these pasta bowls to replace a ceramic set that chipped and cracked with repeated use. I use my pasta bowls constantly for salads, soups, meals in front of the tv and, of course, pasta. I decided to try porcelain thinking it might be more durable than my experience with the cheaper ceramic bowls. The original packaging was quite good and the bowls arrived in excellent condition. These pasta bowls are listed with dimensions of 11.7 x 8.5 x 2.3. My old ceramic bowls had a diameter of 9 1/2 inches so I expected these bowls to be slightly larger. They were not. The true diameter of these bowls is 8 inches. They are very attractive but when I ran my hand over the surface of the porcelain I could feel small imperfections in the surface. I doubt that these would have affected the long term use of the bowls but is just an indication of the poorer quality of Dansk products since they are being produced in China. I intended to return the bowls since they were smaller than I wanted and Amazon customer service was quite good about immediately issuing a return authorization since they were not as described on the web site. I was saved from repacking them by a friend who saw them and bought them from me.

This bowl is great as a family serving bowl or for use by an individual. We usually eat dinner as a family at the table. There I generally put vegetables, bread or desserts in these bowls. The bowl is large enough to serve a family of 6. It is small enough to easily store the left overs in the refrigerator. After that, it can go from the refrigerator to the microwave then back to the table. The shape and size of this bowl are very good for my needs, though some may want a bowl with a little more depth.

It is also great as a serving bowl for individuals. On those occasions when we eat in front of the TV, I always make sure to use these bowls. I am generally reading a book at the same time, so for me it helps prevent spills.

A chip fell out of the rim of one bowl a week after I received it. The response by Amazon to my claim was immediate and courteous. The replacement bowl arrived within a few days. I could not have asked for better service.

A few years ago, I tried to find family serving dishes but could not find anything reasonably priced that met my needs. It must have been a fad at that time for odd shaped, poorly designed dishes. I remember complaining to a couple of store managers about not being able to find round or oval, family-sized serving bowls at a good price in their stores. After extensive searching in local stores and some on the internet, I gave up. This last year, I decided to try again and found a couple of choices at Amazon. I chose this one because I already had one that I purchased several years ago. My only regret is that I did not go for the special promotion where you buy 3 and get 1 free.

We ordered four of these bowls on Amazon's buy 3 get 1 free deal. I couldn't be happier. They are sturdy yet beautiful, and are the perfect size for pasta, casseroles, rice dishes, and more. We use them all the time! I love the simple, clean lines and un-fussy blue stripe. Best of all, they wash up beautifully in the dishwasher, are microwave-safe, and were very reasonably priced.

This was the first product I've ever purchased from Dansk, but I'll definitely be looking at more in the future.

Also - Amazon's customer service, as always, is top notch. The bowls were shipped in their original packaging, which was not terribly sturdy, so of course one of them shattered in transit. I simply filled out the return form on Amazon and they quickly responded. They sent me another bowl overnight at no cost to me and I didn't even have to return the broken one. Thanks, Amazon.

good for pasta. also good for rice and chicken, pork chops and beans and other such dishes. our dishes are dansk bistro but they stopped making that line so the christianshavn is as close as we can get and quite ok.

My daughter listed this product on her Wish list. She was very satisfied with it, as it matches her china pattern.

I won't go on and on, but I love this Dansk line. These are well made bowls, sturdy,yet attractive. Nice not only for past, but soup, and I use mine as serving bowls for vegetables, etc. They are a little bigger than I expected, but not disappointed!!

I wish the this item was packed more carefully. It was completely shattered inside the box and I had a hard time repacking the box for return since there were several very sharp shards inside.
