The glass bowls have surpassed my expectation. The size is ideal for portioned salads, cereals, desserts and more. The simple and clear design fits almost any table setting. For buffets, the shells can also use very well. When cooking, I use them for preparing ingredients, such as onions, vegetables, herbs, sauces, etc. The glass of the shells is about 4 mm thick, so the dishes for the "rough" everyday use are very well suited. Because of the wide applicability and the pretty shape I will reorder some of them. By the way, "Bambusbär" has the glass dishes delivered so quickly that I had in my hand 24 hours of order, and even free of shipping costs. So I am satisfied completely with this product.
