Product Description
The remarkable popularity of Nova Brown inspired this new collection featuring soft blues. Ranging from cornflower to deep indigo, the tones recall your favorite pair of comfy jeans. Just the right sort of feeling for casual dining. Please note: variations in surface and glaze are intrinsic to handcrafted stoneware and no two pieces are exactly the same.
Amazon.com Review
This set of 4 handcrafted ceramic soup bowls brings the unique and distinctive pottery style of central Java straight from Indonesia to your dinner table. Each bowl holds 16 ounces of tasty soup, includes a carrying handle to prevent burns and make it easy to melt layers of goopy cheese on top of a tasty French onion soup. The striking design is sure to catch the eye of dinner guests, with colors grading from cornflower at the bottom to a deep, rich indigo at the top. Because these kiln-fired pieces are handcrafted, no two pieces are the same, and you'll be able to enjoy the special colors and shapes of each individual piece. Despite their handcrafted origins, they're durable enough for daily use and are safe in both the microwave and dishwasher, leaving you more time to enjoy the food you eat off them. --Jeff Dalto

Love the bowls, buyer BEWARE of shipping November 19, 2008

I had these bowls on my wishlist last year and my mother ordered them for me just before Christmas 2007. Unfortunately, as everyone has noted, they are poorly packed. One arrived broken and the issue was never resolved.
The bowls are fabulous though, assuming they survive shipping :-)
 Nice bowls - BAD packaging 2 broken October 21, 2008
H. Archer (Ohio, USA)
These bowls are very nice and heavy ceramic. But I was extremely disappointed to receive 2 broken bowls with handles missing - leaves me with 2 bowls to use. From many other reviews it appears broken handles caused by poor manufacturer packaging is the problem. Amazon always packs items well with lots of packing, so I don't fault Amazon. It's a pity they don't contact the manufacturer about these many problems of broken handles and do something to correct the situation. However, perhaps Amazon shipping dept. should check the boxes/bowls before shipping to make sure they are not broke and handles missing from the manufacturer's box. It's obviously a manufacturer problem when they purposely box the bowls with broken off handles and the handles are not in the box. Maybe that's why they discount the price so much, as they are aware people may very well receive broken ones, and feel lucky to get at least a couple bowls intact that can be used.
 Classy, functional soup bowls June 26, 2008

I've had these for a few months now, and still not a broken one in the bunch. I have used them in the microwave and broiler without any problems. I have even banged them around in the sink when washing dishes, and keep expecting to see one of the handles broken off, but all are still intact. I ordered these along with other items in the collection and the smaller boxes were packaged into a larger box which provided adequate protection during shipping. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I have Amazon Prime and they were shipped in two days, which gave less opportunity for them to be broken during shipping.
At first I thought the handles were too thin and the bowls didn't seem balanced, but I have come to love their feel and design. I proudly show them off to friends and feel like I am treating myself every time I use them...and I now use them daily. For a great french onion soup mix, try Cugino's Gourmet Foods, Ridiculously Delicious Soups, 8 Cup Baked Burgundy French Onion Soup...it's easy and when put in these bowls rivals the flavor, look, and presentation of any restaurant.
Bowls Not Broken April 19, 2008
Kula (USA)
I had put off on ordering these because of all the bad reviews due to packaging, but I finally decided to and they arrived in perfect condition. As far as packaging goes, there is a little bit of cardboard around the bowls to cushion them, and they were packed so tightly in the the 2 boxes they came in, there was nowhere for them to go.
The quality of the bowls is great. They are really heavy and sturdy, I got the blue ones and I love the color, it looks just like the picture. I love them!
 Large soup bowls, worth the money. March 10, 2008
Hal Bailey
These bowls are great for many foods, but avoid using in the oven. They are easy to handle when eating by the TV, or away from the table. They look great stored on a shelf in the kitchen, or under the counter. Could find no information on lead content. When put in the dishwasher they leave a puddle on the bottom. In general these bowls are well worth the money.
