Size and Function: The size of the bowl should fit your specific needs and lifestyle. Personalized ceramic bowls come in different sizes. There are small dessert bowls and large bowls that can be used to serve main course dishes. Smaller bowls are good for serving cereal, soup or small personal foods like pasta or salad. Larger bowls are able to hold bigger helpings of food meant for a group of people usually 5 or more. Another important thing you should keep in mind when choosing a ceramic bowl is the weight, lighter bowls are the better option and they're even more comfortable.
