White porcelain brings a clean, classic appearance to formal events and traditional hospitality settings. Standard soup bowls hold 250 millilitres and have an 18 centimetre diameter, holding broths and creamed soups. Pasta bowls feature a wider rim and a deeper centre, holding up to 450 millilitres. Their 28 centimetre diameter accommodates large main courses. Dessert bowls hold 180 millilitres and measure 15 centimetres across, holding sweets and small starters. Finger bowls measure 8 centimetres in diameter and meet specific dining requirements.
Porcelain construction resists chipping and maintains consistent quality across large orders. These items stack well, saving space during transport and storage. You can pair these pieces with matching cutlery hire and glassware hire to complete your table settings. Expo Hire requires no security deposit, freeing up your budget for other event necessities.
Graphite and storm finishes provide a clear alternative to traditional white porcelain for modern menus. Graphite bowls feature a deep, consistent dark grey colour. Storm bowls present a mottled grey and blue finish with a textured appearance. Graphite soup bowls hold 280 millilitres with a 19 centimetre diameter. Storm finish pasta bowls have a 500 millilitre capacity and a shallow, wide shape measuring 27 centimetres across. Storm dessert bowls complement this range, holding 160 millilitres and measuring 16 centimetres in diameter.
