Versatile Dinnerware for Your Table With White Bowls

When you're in need of tabletop essentials, look no further than the crisp, neutral style of white dinnerware. It offers a timeless look that makes a clean presentation alongside any meal. From entrees to sides, soups to desserts, white dinnerware allows any dish to shine. Explore our white bowls and see how they can integrate into your existing dinnerware selection or help you start a new collection.

Types of White Bowls Available

As you start to explore our bowls, white and otherwise, you'll notice that there are several different types of bowls available. Our white cereal bowls and cereal bowl sets are perfect for your favorite breakfast cereals, of course, but white cereal bowls are also great for serving up oatmeal, soup and even ice cream. Classic soup bowls tend to feature a wide rim and a deep basin -- perfect for enjoying your go-to soups. Other soup bowls feature handles that make an eye-catching presentation at the dinner table. Pasta bowls generally have wide mouths and are shallower than a soup bowl, which helps you eat your favorite pastas a little easier. French onion bowls come with a built-in chunky handle that makes it easy for you to savor the soup to the last drop, while rice bowls are smaller in size but contain a deep basin -- ideal for serving up sides of rice to go with your favorite curries and more.

Features of Our Bowls

Our bowls are crafted from materials designed to hold up to everyday use. Choose from options like porcelain, stoneware or melamine. Each of these durable materials offers its own benefits, so your choice may come down to the style and detail you prefer the most.

Porcelain cereal, soup and pasta bowls bring classic elegance to any meal due to their delicate design. Porcelain is incredibly durable, thanks to its heat-resistant properties. Choose porcelain for elevated evenings and fine dining.

Stoneware cereal bowls, soup bowls and pasta bowls enliven casual meals and are great for everyday use. Some bowls are finished with an enamel glaze that protects the bowls against chips, scratches or stains. Other bowls in this collection are finished with a reactive glaze that adds a high gloss finish.

Melamine bowls are a versatile choice and ideal for outdoor get-togethers, parties and everyday dining thanks to their shatter-resistant quality and lightweight feel. Melamine holds up against scratches, cracks and tears.

In addition to the selection of classic white bowls, you'll find plenty of bowls with exquisite details that add a sophisticated finish to the look of your dinner presentation. Look for bowls with unique textural patterns, like beaded rims, basketweave detail and beaded hemstitch designs. An embossed pearl pattern offers timeless elegance, while scalloped edges add signature flair around a bowl's edges. Square bowls bring angled precision to provide a crisp backdrop to your meal, while irregular, organically shaped bowls show off the handcrafted technique of their artist and provide a contemporary stamp to your bowl collection.

Select white bowls are styled with color too. Look for bowls crafted with elegant blue and white floral detail along the edges that's finished with gold trim. Festive themes embrace classic color combinations like red berries and green leaves.
