The combination of glossy white glazed interior and matte exterior, devoid of decoration, looks and feels spectacular in its simplicity. This particular serving bowl in Graphite features a compelling dark charcoal-gray exterior, although the beauty of this particular collection is that any Colorwave color mixes and matches with other Colorwave pieces. Made of durable stoneware, this bowl stands up to everyday use but looks dressy enough for formal dinners. The coupe-style bowl measures 9-1/2 by 2-3/4 inches, ideal for serving a side dish of vegetables, a dessert of poached pears, any kind of salad, or for simply displaying fresh seasonal fruit. A big salad eater can even use it for an individual tossed green salad. Exemplary of Noritake's renowned 100-year reign of quality, Colorwave is conveniently safe for the oven, microwave, and dishwasher. --Ann Bieri
