I ordered the dish for the camp-holiday my son. Good thing there there was no soup! For the sauce of pasta dishes deepening of the plate just enough like this, for soups, it is clearly too shallow - unless you're on a diet and eating anyway no more than three to four spoons. The material is fine, you can put the dish in the dishwasher - in this respect, I can not complain. My advice to the manufacturer: do not sell as soup plate, because it is certainly not but maybe just as a plate with depression.
