Dinner Service

[craft1948]

So the daughter has said she would like a plain white dinner service for Xmas, and I'm struggling. The problem is she doesn't want one with the deep soup bowls, but she wants the 'old-fashioned' shallow bowls with a 'lip'.
I've looked at John Lewis, M&S, Debenhams, The White Company, but can't find a suitable one so any suggestions please. She hasn't said whether she wants a 4 or 6 place setting...

Nice bednobs but they're out of stock, I could ring them to see if they're getting some more...

Have a look at Amazon -White belgravia 12piece bone China dinner service, the bowls don't have a lip but look fairly flat

[snags]

You don't have to worry about being seen there... you can order online :)

[bednobs]

we have that service (well bits of it; we can't afford it all) and they always seem to have loads in the shop

[hc4361]

They are called soup plates, not bowls, so that might help your search

Thanks everyone, when she comes round I'll show her all your suggestions.

There's a subtle shade of white. ;o)

I knew I saw some in Wilkinson's last week, but now they are called 'Pasta Bowls' instead of soup plates!

Haven't looked at all the answers - but I would die before I would have Denby in my house.

My neighbour got it for a wedding present many years ago and sometimes she sends me over dishes with it - for me to eat from it - I transfer it.

Denby is so coarse - cant eat from it and cant drink from it. The most ugliest of all.

Thanks Conne...I use Denby.
