Bowl Sizes Information

We make three sizes of wooden bowls. The relationship in size can be seen in the picture alongside.
We refer to them as "Large", "Medium" and "Small" with matching "Individual" soup or salad bowls available where indicated.
We start off with turning blanks of 15", 12" and 10" in diameter.
While the finished diameters vary slightly with the nature of the designs net average external diameters are 14-1/2"... 11-1/2" and 9-1/2".
The average height of all the bowl sizes is just over 5"
The individual soup or salad bowls are sized at 6-1/2" diameter with a height of 2-3/4"
While the size of a portion of salad is a very subjective thing, with experience, we are confident in the small bowl serving 4 to 6 people, the medium 6 to 8 people and the large 8 to 12 people. If you're looking for larger serving bowls, here they are!
Remember, these wooden bowls are not dish-shaped they have the full capacity of their diameter.

For the further curious here are the average volumes...

Large Bowl: 10 Quarts
Medium Bowl: 6 Quarts
Small Bowl: 4 Quarts
Individual Bowl: 1 Pint
