The iittala stainless steel serving bowls with their perfect cylindrical shapes and subtantial size bring architecture and utility to the table. These bowls consist of two layers of matte-brushed stainless steel with an insulating pocket of air between them. Warm food remains warm, cold food remains cold. Use Seth-Andersson's Birch salad servers with their distinctly Scandinavian shape to compliment the bowl. This bowl with its unusual width is great for serving salad, hot vegetables, or other side dishes for a large dinner party.
