Choosing a Ceramic Pasta Bowl

Add a ceramic pasta bowl to your dinnerware for ample versatility. Although these bowls are designed for pasta, you can also use them for soup, cereal, salad and snacks. Williams Sonoma has pasta bowls from renowned brands such as Pillivuyt and AERIN, along with store exclusives you won't find anywhere else.

Types of Ceramic Pasta Bowls

When shopping for a ceramic pasta bowl, you'll find a wide variety of options available. There are bowls to coordinate with every table setting and design style, so it's easy to find one that works for your home. Choose from stylish options such as:

• Sicily: These bowls are made in Italy and are adorned with a colorful, intricately patterned motif. Choose from several color schemes, including yellow and blue. These pieces come in sets of four and match the Williams Sonoma dinnerware of the same name.
• La Cucina: Another Italian-inspired pasta bowl set is the La Cucina set, which includes four individual bowls and a serving bowl. These bowls feature a border of vines and Italian words and have a crackle glaze for a rustic look.
• Brushed Gold: Impart an elegant look to the table with this pasta bowl set. These high-fired porcelain bowls are made in Portugal and have a hand-applied matte gold rim. Because these dishes are hand-painted, no two are exactly alike.
• Pacifica: Bring casual California style to your dining room with Pacifica pasta bowls. These stoneware bowls have hand-finished rims for a weathered look and come in colors including red, turquoise and white. They also have a generous 27-ounce capacity and are microwave- and dishwasher-safe.
• Pillivuyt Tulip Bowl: Make any meal a special occasion with the addition of this Pilluvuyt Tulip pasta bowl. It's made in France from high-fired porcelain by Pillivuyt, a producer of fine dinnerware since 1818. Despite its delicate appearance, this bowl is microwave-safe and durable enough for the dishwasher.
• AERIN White Basketweave: This simple yet stylish bowl from AERIN is crafted in Italy and features an understated basketweave texture on its exterior. The translucent glaze is hand-applied for a gleaming luster that adds sophistication to any table setting.
• Rustic Outdoor Melamine: Although these bowls appear to be crafted from breakable ceramic, they're actually made from shatterproof melamine. They come in a variety of stylish colors and have a casual look that's great for backyard barbecues or casual dinner parties.
