Libbey Moderno Glass Cereal Bowl in Clear, 12 piece set

love these...ordered and got em rght on time...they are beautiful, actually sparkle when clean, and are durable glass, not as thin as china, but not thick like stoneware...great price too... what i love about this set is it goes with any serveware, u can mix and match colors and it takes up very little visual space on th table so it doesnt look cluttered... they are a perfect size and its great dealin with th company that manufactures and sells em...will def be shopping with this vendor again... have to say, along with this set, i also ordered sets of 12 each of the crisa moderno salad plates, dinner plates, coffee cups and a set of 30 stonehenge glasses (same company)--everything arrived on time and th set is beautiful...fine for dishwasher, dont know about microwave bc i dont use a microwave...

Fantastic dishware. I bought these bowls, dinner plates, and saucers last month and am very happy I did. Granted the dishware I've used for the past 10 years had pink flowers all over them (so any change is a welcome change) but this set is just what I was looking for. The stickers that are on each bowl are fairly annoying (especially with three sets of dishes), but a bit of "Goo Gone" got excess gunk off easy enough. I even managed to drop one or two into the sink while rinsing them and they didn't even crack. I know some people say the bowls are small, but I'm not sure why. I personally think the size is perfect and am very glad they're not any bigger. It's a great amount for cereal and salads, and I've even used them to hold extra ingredients while cooking (they fit right in with my Pyrex mixing bowls). In fact, I wish I had them 3 weeks ago at a dinner party. I didn't have enough dishes to hold the different snacks, chips, and dips and these would've been perfect. Only thing negative I can say is that it's easy to see fingerprints on them. But that's more of a personal thing (my fingers are notorious for leaving prints on everything), and it's not like other dishware is finger print proof, you just won't see it as easily as you would with the clear dishware. As far as shipping, I too have had problems with Target shipping me Libbey items intact, but fortunately Amazon was the shipper and each of the 36 piece arrived flawless.

Just a little over two years of normal use, most of these bowls have chipped badly along the rim and I’ve had to throw them away. These didn’t hold up.

I bought these bowls to replace some ceramic cereal bowls that I've had for several years. Those bowls were deep and large which is great for soup and cereal. However, the ceramic was terrible in the microwave, so I had to heat soup in something else and transfer it to the ceramic bowls. That's a nuisance if you just want a single serving. Then the edges of the ceramic bowls started chipping off, so it was time to retire them. I have had these new clear glass bowls for three months and am very happy with them. In fact, they are much better than my old ceramic bowls. At 25-ounces, they are nice and large - perfect for a man-size bowl of cereal or soup. They work perfectly in the microwave and have no problem on the bottom rack of the dishwasher. Before I bought these, I looked at soup-sized bowls from Corelle Ware. HOLY SMOKE THOSE ARE EXPENSIVE! True, Corelle Ware is thin, light and tough, but I could buy three of these clear bowls for each Corelle bowl. I've not dropped one of these yet. I'm sure it would break if I did, but at this price, I don't care.

Very good quality and no breakage during shipping. These are bigger than I expected, so can only fit 6 in my cabinet.

I've got all this fancy china and never use it so I don't care if these bowls are "common". I could only have them if I bought 12. Well, I have had 2 bowls just like them I got about five years ago and wondered what on earth I'd do if I broke one or both because I use them all the time. I didn't need 12 but I wanted to get free shipping on something cheaper so now I have 14, almost an identical match in size, appearance but just slightly different. They are really thick glass and might be oven proof if you don't go too hot. So there's that option I'm going to try. Also may use them for steam molds because I'm really into that now, steamed puddings and Asian recipes for steamed (all sorts of things on Youtube). They are wonderful soup and chili bowls, ice cream bowls, our family kind of strawberry shortcake bowls, small mixing bowls, good for the lettuce and extras when you have Mexican, probably dozens of things to use them for. I saw where some people weren't too thrilled with them, but I am and wish I'd had these years ago. I love glassware because it looks clean and sparkly.

First of all I was completely annoyed when I received these bowls and there was no indication if they were safe to put in the microwave or not (maybe there was a small paper in the box but I didn't see it). After being an idiot and not checking the reviews to see if anyone else had tested them in the microwave, I decided to take a shot and microwave some soup in one of the bowls and found that they hold up wonderfully, they also do not heat up intensely like most glass tableware while the soup was piping hot. Like other reviewers have stated, these do look a lot bigger in the picture than they actually are but for me that was a bonus since I was originally ambivalent about ordering such weirdly deep bowls. Measure 6 inches with your fingers and they actually are that size. They are shallower than what you expect from the picture but still hold a lot and look great on a table setting; I've heated up an entire can of soup in one of these bowls. They also are super sturdy and the glass is thick but not too thick so I'm pretty sure if you dropped one that it would have a decent chance of surviving the fall. The price is great and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these to anyone.

I love these bowls.

These bowls are the perfect bowl size for cereal, ice cream etc, and we are not skimpy eaters. The only issue is that 3 of mine came chipped on the rim and were very sharp. So far we used a few bowls, put them in the dishwasher and they seem fine so far. We don't have a microwave so these were a good choice for us. The price was so reasonable I didn't mind throwing 3 out. We didn't really need all 12. I also purchased the rest of the Libbey Crisa Moderno dishes as glass dishes are lead/cadmium free. All of the other dishes seem to be in good shape when they arrived. They have a faint blueish/grey tint.

Very durable and I ways wanted a glass dinner set. But they put stickers on each bowl which are a huge pain the scrub off!!
