Description: Soup Bowls in perfect condition are very scarce compared to 10″ dinner plates. They range in diameter from 9 3/4″ to 10 3/8″ and we consider that they must be at least 1 1/2″ deep to differentiate them from shallower dinner plates. The 3 soup bowls pictured are a representative sample. On the left is the deepest bowl 10″ x 1 3/4″ deep, in the middle is the largest diameter bowl 10 3/8″ x 1 5/8″ deep, and on the right is a 9 3/4″ x 1 1/2″ example. Note the different decorative styles and color shadings. All of these soups have glazed bottoms and are heavier and sturdier than later bowls with straight-line borders.
