DuralexMade In France Lys 8 Inch Clear Calotte Plate, Set of 6

My original set of these from 25 years ago are still going strong ... no chips, and not a single one has cracked.We routinely use these in the microwave, so reviews that say they crack in the microwave are puzzling to me.The only reason I purchased another 12 of these, is because over the years they have become etched and scratched from knife use and dishwasher washings. I have not discarded them. In fact, my husband and I use them for our daily meals, but now have a new second set to use when friends stop by for an impromptu meal.The size and shape of these bowls are so versatile, they are by far, the dishes we use most everyday. They are almost like dinner plates with rims to prevent sloshing and spills.Dinner sized salads can be tossed and eaten without spilling over the sides, works great for a stew or curry, and anything with a gravy or sauce. . . especially for casual dining away from the dining table, ie on the sofa holding this bowl in your lap.This is also my dish of choice to use whenever a recipe that says to brown something in the pan, then set aside. I put my cooked proteins in this bowl and it easily holds all the juices that come out while the protein rests.As a side note, they are space saving and nest and stack well in the cabinet and also in the dishwasher.

Foremost for me is that it is made in France and not China. I can be sure there is nothing in it that will come into contact with food that is harmful. Duralex is sturdy and good looking. We have these bowls and different Duralex glasses. Great for serving bowls or soup bowls. We use these every day. Dishwasher safe. Duralex is durable but like any glass can break, especially if dropped on tile or granite. Love these!

usually when I order on amazon, I get scammed and some of them will offer you a gift card for $5 to write a fake review which is really annoying. almost every time I order off of amazon. it happens. but with this, I actually didn't get scammed for once and got what I wanted. some of our bowls are too small or too big and a lot of them are getting old so I ordered this hoping I wouldn't get some bad quality bowls and I didn't! it can actually hold a lot of food for its size and I'm not sure if it's microwave safe since it's glass but I've used it in the microwave a couple of times so I'm pretty sure it is :) these bowls are actually a little stronger than what I thought they would be too. I would definitely recommend these!

Great size. Very durable. Elegant and practical. I love this brand. I use for salads, poke bowls, main dishes with sauces, pasta.If you are deciding between bowls and plates, and must choose one or the other, choose these instead!

Perfect size for pasta

These bowls are replacements for some vintage Arcoroc France bowls we had that are now unavailable if you want the glass made in France, and not China. The Duralex bowls are a thicker, sturdier replacement, very similar shape, high quality,The ONLY downside is that the Company name and "Made in France" lettering are molded on the INTERIOR base of the bowl, so that will inevitably be scraped (chipped? hopefully not) by utensils. This is poor design. if it couldn't be molded in the exterior base, perhaps the outer lower side wall would be a better choice for usability. Time will tell.

This plate goes well with many types of food; especially, for salad, desserts and fruits. It’s durable that I could put it into dishwasher, so I often use it for daily meal plating at home.

We have a vintage set of these bowls. As others have mentioned, they also have the raised words inside. Some are worried the words will chip off and they will eat them. This has never happened with our vintage set, so I wouldn’t be concerned about that. We purchased a new set to have extra, and they seem to be of the same quality, just a little different style. Our daughter loves these bowls because she likes to keep her foods separated. Perfect for a chicken breast or a side of macaroni. I have never microwaved the bowls, but they survive the dishwasher fine. They do scratch if you use knife in them. I like that they are lightweight too! I added a side by side of old vs. new!

I love these glass dinnerware pieces …great product

Surprised the wife with glass bowls like her parents have. Same size. Fantastic purchase. Very durable. Love them.

We purchased these to supplement very similar dishes that have performed superbly for years, and which are physically identical to these. We now believe our original tempered glass bowls are in fact well made knock-offs of these (they don't bear the name). We had been looking for months for identical replacements as they have been unquestionably the most generally useful dish we have ever owned (and I am an octogenarian). Extremely durable, easy to clean, and tremendously adaptable.

We love these dishes. We actually use them for bowls ourselves and love them for cereal, soups and pastas. I think I will probably order more eventually. My only issue with them is that the manufacturer information has been printed on the inside of the bowl for some reason. I would have given these bowls 5 stars otherwise. If you are the sort of person that could be bothered by your spoon scraping on the raised lettering on the bottom of this dish, then know that this will happen. This aspect totally doesn’t bother my husband (I doubt he’s even noticed), but it borders on bothering the heck out of me, but not so much that I’ll stop using the dish... perhaps I’ll get used to it :)

It’s a one-size fits All Dish. I love it. One issue though, the Made in France is engraved on the inside of the dish. I wonder why not on the outside?
