Present your culinary creations with our collection of serving bowls. Choose from a variety of handcrafted pieces, including large serving bowls for salads and sharing, footed bowls for the centre of the table and smaller bowls for sides and dips, in natural mango wood, earthenware, stoneware and ceramic options to suit any occasion. Complement these handcrafted bowls with our collection of serving cutlery.
A serving bowl can hold almost anything, from salads and sides to puddings and sweet treats. Its wide rim and deep shape make it well suited to passing food around the table.
It depends on how much food you’re serving, how many people and what kind of dish. As a guide, large serving bowls measure around 30 to 35cm across, medium bowls 20 to 30cm, and small bowls under 20cm.
For family meals and small get togethers, one large bowl usually serves 4 to 6 people. For parties, rather than sizing up, use several bowls. Two large and two to four medium bowls is a good rule of thumb.
That depends on your household, your storage space and how often you host. If you rarely entertain, one or two serving bowls are enough for everyday family meals. For larger households or regular hosts, a small set across sizes works well: one or two large bowls, a few medium bowls for sides, and two or three small bowls for dips, sauces or snacks.
It depends on the material, so check the care instructions on each product page.
Ceramic, stoneware and earthenware: Most are best washed by hand with a mild detergent. Avoid leaving them to soak, and handle with care to prevent chipping. Where a bowl is dishwasher safe, such as our Malia stoneware bowl, the care instructions will say so.
Wood and rattan: Not dishwasher safe. Wash wooden bowls in warm soapy water and dry straight away, and wipe rattan clean with a soft, dry cloth. Rattan bowls are best kept for fruit or display.
