I had bought my first Fiestaware Cereal Bown sight unseen from Amazon.com, and I absolutely love the rich, cinnamon color of Cinnabar!

The Cereal Bowl comes in handy and we use it for hot and cold cereal, soup, ice cream, and leftovers (smaller portions). It's microwaveable, too!

If you've never used Fiestaware before, this would be a great introduction to the line, especially if you have use for smaller soup/cereal bowls.

I bought several bowls in different colors and this "Tangerine" bowl was the only one which was not well represented in any of the many photos (on different web sites too) that I saw of the line. It is pretty, but it has a creamy cast to it rather than a strong orange color. Not at all the bright clear tangerine color I was expecting (and wanting). It is like a mauve version of orange, a creamy, unremarkable shade. In other respects these 19-ounce bowls are great average portion-sized for soups and stews and hot and cold cereals. All the bowls I ordered from Amazon were packed extremely well, and on all but one the color glazing was perfect and extended all around to the base (a scarlet bowl was missing a small fingernail-size bit on one part near the base. Not a chip, but a glazing imperfection). They've been through the dishwasher three times now, no problems, and they are microwave-safe. They are our go-to bowls for everything.

Edit: After lots of use, they are holding up pretty well, except we think they possibly do not like very hot microwaving -my DH makes instant steel-cut oats in these which are his favorite bowls, and cooks it on high for 2 minutes, boiling it in there. Now the peacock-colored bowl has a crack down the middle where some thick oatmeal got through. The other bowls are doing fine, and he makes it in them also. Of course the crack may have originated from rough handling (as we also hand-wash dishes like maybe something else shifting suddenly onto it in the sink or the dishrack?), but my current theory is that a tiny defect in the original firing has gotten worse over time and use and is now evident. I should emphasize that the other Fiesta bowls I bought at the same time (in which he makes his cereal in too), all appear fine.

We only buy fiestaware now! It is so durable. Our old plates used to chip at the edge, but not my fiesta. I even bought extra ones to use as dog bowls -I got the idea from Orvis catalog -but ordering from Orvis is more expensive. Once you try them -you're hooked. (Now if I can only convince my husband we need a 2nd set in a different color!!!!)

Honest reviews on Fiesta 461 19-Ounce Soup/Cereal Bowl

I ordered these for my mother's birthday and was surprised at how pretty they are. I was skeptical about getting brown dinnerware, but the color is rich and warm and sets off meals nicely. As with all Fiesta dishes, the enamel on these bowls is very safe from a health standpoint, and they are amazingly resistant to chips and cracks. I can't count how many times I've dropped them on the floor or sink by accident, and yet I've never had one break.

This bowl fits with the boxed set of Fiesta dishes that includes a dinner plate, salad plate, bowl, tea cup and saucer. It was the perfect replacement for my broken bowl.
