If you were to select a gift for the bride -- something she really wants but doesn't really need -- this porcelain bowl would be your choice. Its uses are multiple -- as a candy dish, to serve hors d'ouevres or condiments, or to hold spices or potpourri -- which makes it a winner in gift giving. At 3 quarts, the larger size will beautifully serve veggies, fruits, or soups. The smaller size is 4-3/4" in diameter and holds 8 oz., perfect for vegetable sides or desserts.

Pillivuyt has been making heirloom quality dinnerware since 1818. Known as the original producer of French culinary porcelain, it is often seen in the finest French restaurants and on the most elegant dinner tables today. And like all Pillivuyt porcelain, this serving bowl is lead free and cadmium free.
