- Curated Stone Color: Specifically chosen for both cool and warm undertones, enhancing the appearance of cool toned food dishes and complementing warm-tone food.
- Secure Stacking Feature: Keeps bowls secure in transit and ensures proper ventilation when stacked, thanks to C-vents and channels on the lid which fits multiple ounce capacities.
