Yanco NA-709BK Nature Art Melamine 9" x 1-3/4" Pasta Bowl 28 oz, Black and Brown — Case of 24 (2 dz)

Twenty-eight ounces in a nine-inch round with a wall under two inches. Wide and low is the correct geometry for served pasta — a fork needs a flat floor to turn against, and a shallow well keeps sauce in contact with the pasta rather than draining to a pool beneath it. The same bowl takes a main-course salad without the leaves being pressed down.

Black melamine earns its place here through tomato, which marks pale surfaces permanently and is in nearly every pasta sauce a kitchen sends out. On a dark floor a ribbon of parmesan or a basil leaf reads with much more definition than it would on white. Brown around the outside edge traces the rim line so the bowl keeps a visible boundary on a dark cloth.

Sold by the full case. Case of 24 (2 dz)
