Description

No matter how bad your day is going, these beautiful porcelain bowls graciously remind you things could be much worse. You could also be chased by UFOs, pestered by pirates, or plagued by giant frogs.

      Where it's made

      Where it's made

      These porcelain pieces are fired in Poland at one of the oldest and most accomplished porcelain workshops in the world. The Cmielow team traces their start to 1790. Work from these craftspeople can be found in museums and in the palaces of royalty. Our porcelain designs are in-glaze, which means slightly melted into the surface of the piece, to ensure a beautiful crisp image for years to come.

      Great Bowls

      I needed to replace my cereal bowls that I have had for 30+years. I was worried that these wouldn't be big enough for my "Jethro" sized cereal servings. I am extremely pleased to find that these are the best replacements. Not only do they hold the exact amount of cereal but they are very attractive, too.
      I love your products and I am glad that I found them. I show them off to my family and friends and I bought some plates for my sister in law.

      A comforting size; wonderful design!

      You can hold these between your two hands and feel the heft and quality. And with a little cat inside! I have four and I will have four more soon. : -)

      Sturdy, Beautiful Bowls

      I have the Calamnityware Omnivore Bowls. Days before the Kickstarter campaign opened for the Things Could Be Worse Bowls, I managed to break half of my Omnivore Bowls (4 of them) in one spectacular fumble. I was very sad. However, this gave me an "excuse" to support the Things Could Be Worse Bowl campaign (as if I needed an excuse). Beautiful bowls which, like the Omnivore Bowls, fit nicely in my hands. They are perfect for whatever: cereal, soup, salad, food prep. I use them every day. (I also bought 4 replacement Omnivore Bowls). Calamityware dishes delight me like no others I have owned. They also make great gifts.
