Four ivory bowls for slow breakfasts at the kitchen table

The number that decides this set is 26 oz, the stated capacity of each of the four ivory ceramic bowls. The listed diameter is 6 inches. Those two figures set what the bowls can hold, and the listing gives no height to go with them.

Each bowl is listed at 26 oz with a 6 inch diameter. The listing calls this the limit capacity, which reads as the volume to the brim, so a practical fill for soup or cereal with milk will be somewhat less. The text names cereal, salad and fruit as uses, and the title also calls it a soup bowl. The set contains four bowls in ivory white.

The maker says the bowls are made from natural clay and fired at high temperature, and describes them as durable and heat resistant. It says they are safe for the dishwasher and the microwave. No temperature figure is given for the firing or for heat tolerance, so those phrases are description rather than measurement. The listing also does not say whether the body is stoneware or porcelain, how thick the walls are, or how much each bowl weighs.

The shape is described as easy to hold and able to stack and nestle in a cupboard or on a shelf. The listing gives no stacked height, so shelf clearance is something to measure yourself. The surface is described as smooth and glazed, and the maker suggests a rinse and wipe or a dishwasher cycle. The listing does not state the glaze type or whether it is free of lead or cadmium.
