Plates & Bowls buying guide

Match what you already own

Filter by color and material to stay close to your existing set. White and cream pieces mix with almost anything. Matte black with a gold rim makes a strong accent next to white plates, and hand-painted or floral bowls work as a deliberate contrast.

Size bowls by what goes in them

Fruit bowls run about 4.5 inches. Cereal bowls sit near 6 inches and hold 16 to 24 ounces. Dinner bowls of 8 to 8.75 inches handle pasta and grain bowls. Lidded soup bowls keep chili and French onion soup warm on the way to the table.

Melamine outside, ceramic inside

Melamine plates and bowls are light and shatter resistant, good for the patio and the kids' table, but they stay out of the microwave. For warm meals, choose stoneware, porcelain, or fine ceramic. More melamine lives in Outdoor Dining & Melamine.

Common questions

What size is a cereal bowl?

Most cereal bowls here are about 6 inches across and hold 16 to 24 ounces. That size fits cereal, oatmeal, and soup. For pasta or grain bowls, step up to a dinner bowl of about 8 to 8.75 inches.

Can I buy plates without buying a full dinnerware set?

Yes. This collection sells plates and bowls in small sets, often 2, 4, or 6 pieces. It is the easy way to add place settings or replace broken pieces without buying a whole new dinnerware set.

What is the best bowl for French onion soup?

Look for an oven-safe stoneware bowl with handles and a lid, like our double-handle soup bowl set. Oven-safe means you can melt the cheese on top, and the handles keep your hands off the hot sides.

Are melamine bowls microwave safe?

No. Melamine should not be microwaved. Use it for cold and room-temperature foods, outdoor meals, and kids. For reheating leftovers, choose a stoneware, porcelain, or fine ceramic bowl instead.
