At 1,511 grams empty it is heavy for its size, and heavy is the point: a bowl that gets served from by twenty different people needs to stay where it was put. The plain white glaze is the other half of that decision, because a solid color takes a scratch without it becoming a visible mark the way a printed pattern does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeasurements and Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ccaption\u003eSize and care, measured in inches\u003c\/caption\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eFigure\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.0 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.8 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.4 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e78 fl oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight empty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.3 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite porcelain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMicrowave\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafe, per the maker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDishwasher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafe, per the maker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFilling, Storing and Serving\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many people does 78 ounces actually serve?\u003c\/strong\u003e Filled to the brim it is half a gallon, but nobody serves a salad to the brim.
