The red will go with either pink or orange things. Capacity of the dessert bowls is 1 cup , with about a 1/2 inch margin at the top, so can be moved without spilling. Just right for two scoops of ice cream or half a grapefruit.

Perfect bowls
December 5, 2015
I purchased a few of these dessert sized bowls to fill out my set of dishes. After many years of sadness about the poor quality of my Crate and Barrel plates, which disintegrated crack by crack and chip by chip, I am thrilled with my iittala bowls and dishes. They are of the highest quality, wonderfully servicable, stylish and let you assemble a set without being too matchy. I love them and look forward to using them every day. We have had them for a year and there are no cracks, no chips. They look just like the day we bought them. The only problem was when my husband dropped a dish on our ceramic counter---it broke but I dont blame the dish for that!
Pros
Very high quality; beautiful design
Cons
none

Well Designed Bowls

The bowls are what you would expect from Iittala - good design, great color. See below.
Pros
Color/design/price
Cons
One bowl was a little rough and dirty on the bottom. I have ordered Iittala in the past and the quality has always been 100% until now. I cleaned it up and it is not worth the trouble to return it. However, I am a little disappointed since this is a gift.

Bright Dessert Bowl

This bowl is fairly small. Maybe 2 scoops of ice cream would fit. I love the color combination and it makes a very cheerful table setting.
