With the look of china and the durability of hard plastic, these Classicware bowls are great for casual parties at home or even semi-formal catered events. Hard plastic bowls can be used to serve hot soups, ice cream sundaes, and are great for catering displays of dips, toppings, and other snack foods. "Resposables" like these are inexpensive enough to use just once, but also sturdy enough to withstand multiple uses. Elegant-looking in black (and also available in white), they are a great value when purchased in bulk: 10 bowls per pack, 18 packs per case. Matching dinner, salad, and dessert plates may also be purchased separately.
