Sweese Porcelain Dessert Bowls, 6-Piece

The sweet treat at the end of a meal holds a special place at the dinner table. In fact, many families prefer to have special dishes just for serving desserts. Often, dessert bowls have unique designs or fun patterns that really stand out in the kitchen. Dessert bowls are often smaller than salad bowls. They are just big enough to hold a small serving of dessert — don’t try to jam a large piece of cake in there.

Dessert bowls, which fall into the category of dinnerware, can be made out of different kinds of materials. Stoneware is a common material, which is more durable than earthenware. It’s made out of refined clay and is chip-resistant. Some dessert bowls are made from porcelain, which is highly durable. It has a smooth, non-porous glass-like surface and an elegant appeal. The most durable type of dinnerware is called bone china. Although it has a rather translucent and delicate appearance, bone china is hardy as they come. Many bone china dishes are also dishwasher and microwave safe.

When shopping for dessert bowls, be sure to buy ones that match your lifestyle. If you plan on using them often and hate washing dishes by hand, then look for ones you can put in the dishwasher. On the other hand, if you’re looking for special occasion bowls and don’t mind scrubbing the odd dish, you may be alright with handwash-only options. Do you plan on reheating leftovers in the bowls? If so, look for ones that can go into the microwave. If you have stone countertops in your kitchen, opt for dessert bowls made from a hardy material that won’t crack or chip when placed on your counter.

Be sure to consider durability and replaceability. How hardy is the material your dessert bowls are made from? If you have purchased something that will easily break or chip, find out how easy they are to replace. Do you have to purchase an entire set again or can you just pick up one bowl if you need it?
