MORA CERAMICS HIT PAUSE Large Ceramic Serving Bowls Set

As with everything I have ordered from this company. These are awesome. They have a nice weight to them. They look elegant and super expensive, but were reasonably priced. I wasn’t sure about the size at first I had thought they were too small but I’ve used them now several times and they are quite perfect. Do not hesitate!

Just got these this week and have not had a chance to use/clean them as of yet, but man, they are really nice looking. Beautiful glaze, color, shape. I’m frankly shocked that I found these on Amazon. I am thinking of replacing every dish now. Price is pretty good, too. I may update this review once I’ve actually used them, lol.

Every now and then both the seller and their product goes above and beyond. This is one of those times. I can’t say enough good things about the many items I have gotten from Mora Ceramics, and the way they handle themselves as a seller.
First off… I am clumsy and also have nerve damage in my hands that is just getting worse with age. I have 2 nice porcelain dinnerware sets that I am slowly but surely destroying over time with wear and tear and my own clumsiness. But I am no longer willing to pay the exorbitant prices that are being asked for a new, good-quality porcelain set only to end up destroying it as well over time. And I like some of the Melamine sets I was finding, but it’s way overpriced too – especially considering the limitations with no microwaving and dishwasher ‘top rack only’ rules. So, I decided to switch back to stoneware.
I found a beautiful Stoneware set with a pattern that I fell in love and am obsessed with – honeycombs! I love bees. (Elama Geometric Embossed Stoneware Honeycomb Pattern Tableware, Set, Ivory. I’m happy to say I got 2 sets for 8 settings, and now I see that it’s sold out, so yay on the timing there!)
This dinnerware set includes a standard-sized bowl and smaller plate for salad. So I was looking for serving dishes to go with the new set, but I also wanted a set of those cool, low-rimmed pasta dishes as well. I wanted something that would look really good color-wise with the new set – I am a fine artist and I get crazy with color not matching – but also something durable and very simple in design so as not to take away from the dinnerware, because (in my opinion) serving dishes are supposed to support it but not show it up.
My table setting & accessories colors are off-white, tan, beige and bright Aqua as the highlight, all on a maple-colored Amish wood table. The Vanilla color with the warm brown bare clay areas in the Mora dishes turned out to be a fantastic color match to these dishes. (I will put up pics soon). It is just different enough to create some interest, but allows the set be the star without clashing.
And the quality!! omg WOW.
One of the fine art disciplines i have tried my now-failing hands at is ceramics. Not my most experienced area, but I loved it and I know enough about it to know how difficult it is to make things look simple & clean. Let me tell you – it is not easy to do that. These pieces are gorgeous and SO well made. I love the subtle speckling in the glaze and really like the bare clay areas. I am absolutely a “form follows function” artist and these fit the bill perfectly – those bare clay areas make for much more secure handling – so important with my questionable hand strength, which goes right back to my original reason for updating my dinnerware. The fact that they are so lovely as well is just icing on the cake.
The company itself sent emails asking after my satisfaction, which was great. Not many of them do this on Amazon anymore.
The packaging is EXCELLENT. It’s very secure and it’s totally obvious Mora spent some money on this, which is completely appreciated. Since I will more than likely being using most of these dishes for larger formal dinners, I plan to store the majority of the pieces I bought from them in the original packaging… that’s how nice it is! And as it is Stoneware, I have no worries about using one or two pieces constantly and storing the rest. Yes, there will be some ‘wear and tear’ differences, but not in the severe way the fragile patterns wear away on the porcelain sets.
I bought 2 of these sets in the “XL & L” to use as serving dishes, plus 2 sets of the Mora Large Pasta Bowls 30oz, to go with my 8-place settings. I plan to buy the pie pan very soon. I am all set for a gorgeous table setting this coming Turkey day – with the exception of the gravy boat. Oh, I bought one to be sure, because, well, have to.
But I’d rather have one that goes with the Mora dishes! I have formally requested this from them, LOL… so, Pretty Please? Maybe a Gravy boat w/lid, Butter dish, Sugar & Creamer….? Oh man. I’d be in heaven 🙂
By the way….. NO, I did not receive free stuff from them. I am writing this of my own volition.
If you are on the fence, just buy it. You won’t regret it.

I have bought so many mora pieces over the last three years and i am also so impressed with the quality and durability!! They come perfectly packaged and I love having everything matching in my kitchen. highly recommend for style, functionality, practicality, and quality!
