Corelle dinnerware. Period. Might want to get all white since it's impervious to fashion trends and you'll have it practically forever. More on reddit.com

I tend to use a pasta bowl but who knows what you mean by a ‘normie’ bowl? Normal or one used by a man called Norman? 🤷‍♀️ Neither tells me what size your ‘normie’ bowl is, just as you don’t know what size my pasta bowls are. If you want a larger bowl just go buy a larger bowl. Surely you don’t really need a recommendation? Just make sure it holds food. Pretty much the only criteria, right? More on reddit.com

I saw someone giving away some Shadow Iris serving pieces/vase/matching Corning ware. Added bonus is I think you can mix winter frost with the shadow iris as they are both white. FWIW I love my Corelle but I also have a set of actual “expensive” China, like if I were to buy it online it would be over $3k but I spent $120 for 12 place settings and bought it from a young woman who had inherited it from Grandma. My glasses and desert ware are Arcoroc pink glass and match both my Corelle winter frost and my ivory Lenox. I do not use holiday disposable plates ever, even birthdays and such I use something substantial. Corelle is maybe BIFL but it doesn’t stay fancy; I mean I will likely use it forever but eventually scratches are visible and it’s nice to have something that looks a bit more polished for gatherings and special occasions.
