Mainstays Brynn Red Stoneware Cereal Bowl, 6.1 in, 24 oz

After a lifetime of a mobile lifestyle in small boats, RVs and camping where I used nothing but light plastic camping plates I am considering a huge step up to stoneware for my retirement home's kitchen. There is a lot to be said for the unbreakable plastic plates and bowls - practical light weight designs with high lips and simple to wash. I decided to try out one very affordable Mainstays bowl and plate. One thing I know I'll like is the way these can be heated a bit and then keep a meal warmer than plastic would. The heft of stoneware is something I may or may not decide I like. So at just two for 5 dollars I can try out a couple of these attractive dishes. I like the shape of their bowl and I like the raised vertical outer lip of stoneware plates vs. the usual boring slope towards the center of most plates. Can't go wrong when they are two for 5 bucks and I may go ahead and buy a setting for four if I like using these.

I originally bought one of these bowls because my dog's plastic bowl wasn't really what I wanted for him, and honestly I was pleasantly surprised! they are very sturdy nice bowls. I ended up buying three more so I had a set for the living room and for the bedroom for him. they hold one whole bottle of water with a little room to spare, and would work well for soups, cereals, ect. I also like that they are heavier and hard to tip or tumble.
