Vista Alegre Butterfly Parade Soup Bowl

While the design is artistic and sophisticated, it is crafted from durable fine porcelain. It is built to withstand regular use, though you should handle it with the care you would give any high-quality porcelain dinnerware.

With a diameter of 9 inches and a height of 1.625 inches, this is a standard rimmed soup bowl. It is perfectly sized for a generous serving of soup, pasta, or a composed salad, though it is not designed for oversized, deep-bowl portions.

Vista Alegre fine porcelain is generally durable, but to preserve the intricate Butterfly Parade motif and the finish, we recommend hand washing. Please check the manufacturer's specific care instructions on the packaging, as metallic accents or specific glazes may not be microwave-safe.

The 9-inch diameter is standard for a rimmed soup bowl, but the wide rim does increase the overall footprint compared to a rimless bowl. Ensure your cabinet shelves have enough depth to accommodate the width, and consider using plate dividers if you plan to stack them.

The pattern is applied using high-quality glazing techniques typical of Vista Alegre. While porcelain is scratch-resistant, using sharp metal utensils over time can eventually leave marks on any fine dinnerware; using standard flatware is perfectly fine.
