"I bought these bowls for my dogs because they match my kitchen decor, they are deep enough for either food or water, and heavy enough so they don't slide around or tip over easily. However, be careful of the edge, as mine have acquired many chips just from regular use. I use only ceramic bowls and these are just not as durable as others. Also, between the two bowls I purchased, the "ivory" color was lighter in one than the other. The blue was true to color on both."
