Royal Doulton Carmina 13-1/4-Inch Pasta Serving Bowl

The Carmina pasta serving bowl is a large shallow bowl, not only perfect for pasta or salad but also large enough to hold a baked chicken or a large roast. The branches of two quintessentially Mediterranean fruits--olives and lemons--decorate the white center of the bowl, while a diamond-tile border of muted blues and greens separates the white center field from the pale-yellow rim. The words "pasta" and "salad" are printed in blue in a ring just beneath the diamond border. Other pieces in the Carmina pattern include 4-piece place settings, two sizes of platter, demitasse cups, and a shapely cream jug.

Royal Doulton's Carmina dishes can be used in the freezer, microwave, or oven. They're also dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. When hand washing, avoid abrasive cleansers and scourers. The Carmina pasta serving bowl measures 13-1/4 by 2-1/2 inches. Royal Doulton guarantees that a chosen pattern will be available for two years after initial purchase. --Garland Withers
