Mora Ceramic Large Serving Bowls- Set of 2 Oval Platters for Entertaining. Modern Kitchen Dishes for Dinner, Fruit, Salad, Turkey, etc. Oven, Dishwasher Safe, 55/35 oz, 13.5 / 11.8 - Vanilla White

Every now and then both the seller and their product goes above and beyond. This is one of those times. I cant say enough good things about the many items I have gotten from Mora Ceramics, and the way they handle themselves as a seller. First off... I am clumsy and also have nerve damage in my hands that is just getting worse with age. I have 2 nice porcelain dinnerware sets that I am slowly but surely destroying over time with wear and tear and my own clumsiness. But I am no longer willing to pay the exorbitant prices that are being asked for a new, good-quality porcelain set only to end up destroying it as well over time. And I like some of the Melamine sets I was finding, but its way overpriced too - especially considering the limitations with no microwaving and dishwasher top rack only rules. So, I decided to switch back to stoneware. I found a beautiful Stoneware set with a pattern that I fell in love and am obsessed with - honeycombs! I love bees. (Elama Geometric Embossed Stoneware Honeycomb Pattern Tableware, Set, Ivory. Im happy to say I got 2 sets for 8 settings, and now I see that its sold out, so yay on the timing there!) This dinnerware set includes a standard-sized bowl and smaller plate for salad. So I was looking for serving dishes to go with the new set, but I also wanted a set of those cool, low-rimmed pasta dishes as well. I wanted something that would look really good color-wise with the new set - I am a fine artist and I get crazy with color not matching - but also something durable and very simple in design so as not to take away from the dinnerware, because (in my opinion) serving dishes are supposed to support it but not show it up. My table setting & accessories colors are off-white, tan, beige and bright Aqua as the highlight, all on a maple-colored Amish wood table. The Vanilla color with the warm brown bare clay areas in the Mora dishes turned out to be a fantastic color match to these dishes. (I will put up pics soon). It is just different enough to create some interest, but allows the set be the star without clashing. And the quality!! omg WOW. One of the fine art disciplines i have tried my now-failing hands at is ceramics. Not my most experienced area, but I loved it and I know enough about it to know how difficult it is to make things look simple & clean. Let me tell you - it is not easy to do that. These pieces are gorgeous and SO well made. I love the subtle speckling in the glaze and really like the bare clay areas. I am absolutely a form follows function artist and these fit the bill perfectly - those bare clay areas make for much more secure handling - so important with my questionable hand strength, which goes right back to my original reason for updating my dinnerware. The fact that they are so lovely as well is just icing on the cake. The company itself sent emails asking after my satisfaction, which was great. Not many of them do this on Amazon anymore. The packaging is EXCELLENT. Its very secure and its totally obvious Mora spent some money on this, which is completely appreciated. Since I will more than likely being using most of these dishes for larger formal dinners, I plan to store the majority of the pieces I bought from them in the original packaging... thats how nice it is! And as it is Stoneware, I have no worries about using one or two pieces constantly and storing the rest. Yes, there will be some wear and tear differences, but not in the severe way the fragile patterns wear away on the porcelain sets. I bought 2 of these sets in the XL & L to use as serving dishes, plus 2 sets of the Mora Large Pasta Bowls 30oz, to go with my 8-place settings. I plan to buy the pie pan very soon. I am all set for a gorgeous table setting this coming Turkey day - with the exception of the gravy boat. Oh, I bought one to be sure, because, well, have to. But Id rather have one that goes with the Mora dishes! I have formally requested this from them, LOL... so, Pretty Please? Maybe a Gravy boat w/lid, Butter dish, Sugar & Creamer....? Oh man. Id be in heaven :) By the way..... NO, I did not receive free stuff from them. I am writing this of my own volition. If you are on the fence, just buy it. You wont regret it.

After months of dreaming of these serving bowls, I finally ordered them. Why did I wait so long?! They arrived quickly and in great condition! They’re true to size, while I am hoping they offer an even larger bowl in the future. But for now they are perfect! If you are in need of serving dishes, these will not disappoint! UPDATE: So we did a thing…. We got the 3XL and 2XL serving platters too! They are gorgeous! Guests always comment on how beautiful these platters are! While I would love to keep Mora my Ceramic secret, I can’t keep it a secret! I end up sending everyone links to their amazon store or I end up gifting mora ceramics as anniversary/wedding gifts! Do yourself and your friends a favor, want exceptional serving ware? Then it’s settled, you need Mora Ceramics. Now, I just need to convince the husband that we need to update our dinnerware ;)

Very lovely service ware.

None

These are great. I did think they would be bigger but they are definitely beautiful and well made.

These are beautiful, sturdy, and quite stylish in an understated way.

This platter is perfect for my families favorite dish!!! Easy to wash up and hold all the nachos I pile on it, yummy

Received 2 serving bowls as a house warming gift. The products are just the right size, a lovely glaze and the perfect shade of gray. I love them so much that it’s now my option for the next gift I plan to purchase this summer!

I thought they are fancy plates for guests but no I serve food, soup, snack, morning breakfast! It’s the best size I love them

I love these platters. They retain temp for a while which is nice if you’re serving something warm on them, toss them in the oven at 200 to hear them up. Oppositely, if you’re serving cold food, pop them in the fridge. We also bought the small bowls and they’re great also. I’m eventually going to buy the whole product line of these.
