Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Libbey Moderno 6-Inch Cereal Bowl, Box of 12, ClearCustomer Review: Over-rated. It's a generic glass bowl with a Libbey sticker. Summary: 3 Stars
I was prepared to be impressed when the inner box was opened (they were packed very well) but that did not turn out to be the case. As one reviewer mentioned, they were in fact smaller than expected. The image on the webpage is deceiving. Six inches refers to the outside diameter of the bowl, the walls of which are 3/16 inch thick; so the inside diameter is 5 5/8 inches.
They're fairly shallow with a depth of 2 3/8 inches and a 3 inch diameter base both inside and outside. The total volume to the rim is 25 ounces. Total reasonable usable volume is about 18 ounces.
The class is quite heavy but rather poorly made. Poorly enough apparently that Libbey did not want its name on it. Aside from a sticker written completely in Spanish which calls the product Crisa Libbey (Moderno does not appear) the only intentional markings on the bowls are the raised word Mexico and a one or two digit number following on the base. "Libbey" is nowhere to be found. Just conjecture of course, but wondering if this really is the generic glass bowl for a number of companies, hence the absence of a name.
What is to be found are small pits, scratches, and raised defects in and on the glass. The rims and bottoms however were flawless. The flaws were on the outsides of the bowls. None were found on the eating surfaces and none were of sufficient significance to warrant the return shipping cost. At $2/bowl they're serviceable, although I would not have bought them at any price had I seen them in advance, mostly because of their size.
Beauty and the eye of the beholder and all that. I do not find them attractive. They are thick, dull, small glass bowls. They arrived dirty. That did not help. They did shine up after being cleaned (by hand so the dishwasher detergent would not etch the glass) but were easily scratched and fingerprinted. Questionable quality glass. There would be no mistaking these for Pyrex. Prolonged exposure to some dishwasher detergents may etch the soft glass. A visit to Consumer Reports might be worthwhile.
Have not tried microwaving or sudden temperature changes. Just because it's thick glass does not mean it won't shatter. It's fragile enough to scratch after all.
SUMMARY: Questionable quality small generic glass bowls which carry a Libbey name only until you take the sticker off. Would not buy them again.
